Distracted driving—from texting behind the wheel to driving while tired to turning around to chat with friends in the backseat—can lead to deadly consequences, especially for teens.
Now students in grades 6–12 can help save lives and change attitudes about distracted driving by entering the Drive2Life Contest.
To enter, each participating student should create an exciting, innovative storyboard or script for a memorable Public Service Announcement (PSA) that demonstrates tips to help prevent distracted driving. The grand prize winner receives $1,000 and will embark on a trip to New York City, where a professional film crew will transform the student's vision into a 30-second commercial! Four runners-up (two from grades 6–8, and two from grades 9–12) each will receive $500.
The teacher of each student winner will receive a classroom subscription to a relevant Scholastic magazine (30 student editions and one teacher's guide) for the 2013–2014 school year. See Official Rules for details. No purchase necessary. Void where prohibited.
Contest Overview
Entries may be written scripts, treatments, or storyboards that illustrate the PSA concept, and should be 30 seconds in length. Videos will not be accepted.
