"  Since we launched our Practice Safe Sun campaign five years ago, we&amp;#039;ve been spreading the word about the connection between unprotected UV exposure and skin cancer, and bringing you the latest info about how to keep your skin healthy and gorgeous. Now, we want to hear from you. Send us a short (anywhere between 10 seconds to a minute long) video answering the question, &amp;quot;Why is it important to practice safe sun?&amp;quot; Maybe it&amp;#039;s that getting in a tanning bed or laying out sans sunblock seriously ups your chances of melanoma. Maybe you had a skin scare that made you realize how crucial it is to slather on SPF. Maybe you don&amp;#039;t want to look like a leathery 80-year-old cabana lady before your time. Or maybe your boyfriend is freaking obsessed with your sexy skin and you want to keep it looking that way. Shoot a video using a flipcam, webcam, or your smartphone. Then import it into your computer and save it as .mov or .mp4 and email to PSS@hearst.com. You can also use the site yousendit.com to create a link if the video is too large to email. And be sure to include your name and age in the message. (If you have any questions about the size of the video or how to send it, email us at PSS@hearst.com.) One lucky video star will win an awesome prize pack of goodies worth $1000 (including a spa day, beauty products from Neutrogena, a designer bag, and designer sunglasses). Plus, we&amp;#039;ll play some of the clips on cosmopolitan.com, so you just might see yourself in the spotlight! Find out more about Cosmo&amp;#039;s Practice Safe Sun campaign here.
