High School students compete to direct next teen safe driving ad in Project Orange Video Contest
NASHVILLE – The road to stardom now has a shortcut for Tennessee high school students. The Tennessee Department of Transportation is looking for the director of their next ad on teen safe driving in work zones and they want a Tennessee high school student to create it.
The first ever Between the Barrels Project Orange Video contest begins Monday, January 5, 2009 and is open to all Tennessee High School Students. Teens who write, shoot, and edit a 25 second public service announcement on teen safe driving in work zones and submit it to TDOT by March 1, 2009 could see their ad played on television stations across the state, receive a free set of Bridgestone tires and receive a $500 prize.
“Work zones can be particularly dangerous, even deadly, places for teens,” said Christin Hayes, Between the Barrels Statewide Coordinator. “The Project Orange Video Contest not only gives Tennessee students the opportunity to see their work showcased statewide, it also provides them the chance to possibly save the life of a fellow Tennessee student.” [Read more]
