Breaking Good High School Video Contest

Seeking Sponsors for Breaking Good High School Video Contest

The Legal Services and Programs Committee will host the sixth annual Breaking Good Video Contest for 2021-2022. The video contest aims to provide an opportunity for New Mexico high school students to show their creative and artistic talents while learning about civil legal services available to their communities.

The LSAP Committee would like to invite a member or firm of the legal community to sponsor monetary prizes awarded to first, second, and third place student teams and the first place teacher sponsor. The video contest sponsors will be recognized during the presentation of the awards, to take place at a Law Day 2022 presentation, and on all promotional material for the video contest. If you are interested in sponsoring this event, please email Member Services at memberservices@sbnm.org.

For more information regarding details about the prize and scale and the Video Contest in general, or additional sponsorship information, visit sbnm.org/BreakingGood.

These case types will proceed in court according to applicable rules of civil procedures.
