How can I enter?
Students must create a Public Service Announcement (PSA) for a local nonprofit organization on the list provided on the entry form. They must follow all instructions and submit their entry and a completed form. This year we have two categories available.
1. Written Entry - Students must submit a written script for a :30 written public service announcement. Follow all the rules on the entry form to send in a completed and correct entry.
2. Video Entry - New for 2012, students may now submit their own VIDEO public service announcement. This will be a completed :30 commercial for one of the nonprofit organizations on the entry form. This must be submitted on a DVD and accompanied with an entry form.
**All entries MUST be postmarked by February 10, 2011**
What can I win?
The top winner for the written portion will receive a $1500.00 college scholarship and your script will be made into a commercial that airs on WKBN 27. We will also award $100 prizes to the five runners up and each will be highlighted in a commercial throughout the month of March on WKBN 27. The video winner will receive a $200 prize and their spot will also be shown on television.
All winners will be recognized at a scholarship banquet at the beginning of March.
