Teen Advocate Contest

Teen Advocate Contest for Students to Promote Driving Safety: $10,000 Grand Prize

AAA is conducting a contest to run from July 1 through November 20, inviting high school and college age teens (13-19 years of age) to produce effective communication campaigns that will help AAA spread the Buckle Up message and otherwise promote driving safety. The contest is a grassroots effort designed to engage teens and their peers in conversations that will improve driver safety including the important message to wear safety belts, by encouraging them to create effective avenues and messages.

  Contest Deadline Extended
Entries may be presented as, but are not limited to the following:
a blog; a video appearing on YouTube, Facebook, MySpace or other "Social Media" websites; a Public Service Announcement (advertisement) on a local cable TV, radio, or Internet broadcast; a "Letter to the Editor" or editorial published in a community newspaper or a high school or college publication; an ad appearing on-screen in movie theaters; a poster on display and viewed by the public in a high visibility public space; etc.
Entry submissions must be original work and will be considered for their creativity, clarity and effectiveness.
