Wind Blows’ Chasing Hamilton Hits the News

Posted by Nadia Nascimento

Arizona’s East Valley Tribune published an article this week on three ambitious high school seniors who created a 60-second video about the power of wind for Memelabs’ Wind Blows. The video, Chasing Hamilton, ranked fourth place at the time of the article; however, while this is no simple achievement, fourth place won’t get them the gold.

Bryan Koepplinger, Nicholas Ramirez and Yousef Hawash have stated that if they do win the $10,000 prize, they’ll be putting it away for college. The article, penned by Tammy Krikorian, features a catchy byline: “Ask three students from Gilbert’s Mesquite High School what ‘wind blows’ mean to them, and they won’t hesitate to tell you: $10,000.”

While here at Memelabs and Western Wind Energy we try to promote a higher sense of purpose, we weren’t surprised that many of our contestants - including the young trio behind Chasing Hamilton - did it for the cash. Aptly enough, Chasing Hamilton features Koepplinger chasing a stray dollar bill blown by the theme subject, wind power.
