As part of its rebranding effort, SDialogue (formerly SRB Marketing) is currently running its $10,000 "S Contest," and using audio and video to promote the contest to other organizations with a sustainability story to tell. It's also giving participants multimedia options for entering - participants can enter the contest with a short written argument for why they should be chosen at the firm's website or Facebook page, or can add or substitute a video at its YouTube page. The winner gets $10,000 worth of sustainability strategy and communications services.

The top five finalists have been selected in SDialogue's $10,000 "S Contest," and voting has now begun. Over 40 entries were received and narrowed down to the list of five finalists. Perry Goldschein, partner at SDialogue stated: "It was a tough job choosing finalists due to the high quality of the responses, and moving stories. Our main criterion was the amount of positive, ongoing impact on society and/or the environment that entrants can have."
