Winner: Sticks & Stones

Engaged by the City of Edmonton, Sticks & Stones developed “Renewable” - a non-fiction web series about the people imagining a sustainable future in the heart of Oil Country. It’s a collection of short form documentary episodes presented in a rational tone. In Alberta, there is a lot of misinformation about climate change. The challenge was to provide clarity in a non partisan way. The target audience wasn’t the “eco-warrior” or the “chemtrail theorist”, it was the middle 70% who are curious - but not overly engaged. The series navigates level headed facts, in human terms, with enough production value and human interest to share. Built into each episode is an element of the City of Edmonton’s Energy Transition Strategy.
