We’re inviting students to use their voices and storytelling skills to make their own Public Service Announcement (PSA) about the dangers of distracted driving.   A committee of KARE 11 employees will review submitted PSAs and select 11 winners. Each of the 11 winning PSAs will then air on KARE 11 through the summer and into the fall of 2020.   Plus, the top three PSA’s will receive $1,100 to help promote distraction-free driving at their school.
 
A complete explanation of the contest rules and details can be found in the  #eyesUP PSA Challenge Toolkit . The toolkit includes examples of submissions we received last year and a video with some great PSA production tips from KARE 11's Alicia Lewis, the champion behind the KARE 11 #eyesUP campaign.  PSA submissions are due by Friday, April 24 th .
