Do you like making videos or writing stories? Are you an aspiring film or media creator and want your work shown state-wide? Do you want to win a $1,000 cash prize?
The Teen Driver Program is currently looking for the next best video, radio commercial or media script focused on teen driving safety. The goal is to create content that will help your fellow teens stay safe while driving and riding as passengers. High tech production equipment or famous people aren’t necessary to make great content! Any student in grades 6-12 are welcome to submit content.
Winners will take home up to a $1,000.00 cash prize and bragging rights. Winning entries will be shared/shown at future Seat Belt Challenge, NH Traffic Safety Conference, on TV, and on social media!
Content should be about driving safety topics like distraction, impairment (drugs, alcohol), speed, or whatever you think is important for people to know about safe driving! Check out some video Public Service Announcements the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock has created below for concept and format ideas.
