The deadline is Sunday for voting online on videos made by youngsters who want to sail on the Adventuress.
Six videos from youth groups in Port Angeles, Chimacum and Port Townsend are open for voting on YouTube at www.youtube.com/user/schooneradventuress.
“Some are from schools, one is from a Boy Scout troop, and another is from an independent group of interested youth,” said Megan Addison, education and outreach coordinator for Sound Experience, which owns the historic tall ship based in Port Townsend.
“The resulting videos are thoughtful, poignant and sometimes even funny,” she said.
The contest winner will be announced Monday.
The video with the most “likes” will win a three-hour Sound Studies sail for up to 45 students, teachers and parents in mid-June, leaving from either Port Angeles or Port Townsend.
‘Chantey’ in lead
“The Adventuress Chantey!”, which has a Spongebob theme, was in the lead by Tuesday afternoon with 55 “likes.”
“Land to Sea — the Adventuress Video Project” was launched April 18.
Young people, teachers and parents in North Olympic Peninsula schools and youth groups were asked to create short videos that answer the question, “Why do YOU want to sail on Adventuress?”
