Video Contest for High School Students

Hello Smart Gals!

I just found out about a video contest sponsored by Action for Healthy Kids and Students Taking Charge, a new national program to motivate and empower high school students to take action to improve nutrition and opportunities for physical activity in their school, and to help themselves and their peers learn to be healthier.

The contests challenges students in 9-12 grade to create a video that tells the world how your students, teachers, groups, activities or classes at your high school make it easy for students to be healthy. The videos should be between 30 seconds and 2 minutes, and can be made in any style you want. Oh yeah, and they also must include a “red apple.” (Don’t ask me . . . check out the website for all the details.)

Creators of the winning videos will receive cash prizes, and their school will receive a donation in support of healthy activities or nutritional programs. Deadline for submission is June 1.

Good luck!
