5) VEGETARIAN VIDEO SCHOLARSHIPS - 2014 WINNERS $1,000 IN PRIZES FOR 2015
Taylor is a winner of The Vegetarian Resource Group Video Contest. Taylor
stated: I went vegetarian three years ago when meat began to hurt my stomach
after eating it. After only the first week, I felt so much better. Since becoming
vegetarian I've discovered all the environmental and economic benefits of
vegetarianism, which in addition to health reasons, have led me to continue
the diet.

Deadline for the next contest is July 15, 2015. See:
