$5,000. Second-place finisher will receive $2,000. Third-place finisher
will receive $1,000.
Here’s what we’re looking for. A video designed to motivate,
persuade and encourage teens to not text while driving. You have a
unique opportunity to play a key role in spreading this important
message. You can speak to your peers on this subject in a way that
adults cannot. The more lives you can impact, the more lives you can
save.
