DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS HAS ENDED
AS A REMINDER:
In addition to uploading the PSA to SchoolTube, teachers must fax a signed Five Freedoms Teacher Form (found at www.hsbj.org/2008entryform.pdf) to RTNDF at 202-223-4007. This form verifies that students did the work with no assistance from adults and that music is copyright free or used under license.
Announcing a new, bigger Five Freedoms PSA Contest!
RTNDF is linking with the Student Television Network and SchoolTube to present a national Five Freedoms Public Service Announcement Contest.
You could win $1,000 for your school’s broadcast program.
We’re looking for dynamic, inspirational public service announcements (PSAs), 15 or 30 seconds long, that show how using the First Amendment’s Five Freedoms enriches our lives – or how not using them can stifle our Constitutional rights.
A $1,000 Grand Prize will be given to both the :30 and :15 winners broadcast program.
You don’t have to wait until February to win a prize... Early Entry prizes and Favorite PSA prizes (based on viewers’ ratings on SchoolTube.com) will be given starting in October. So make sure you and your students register on SchoolTube so you can upload your entry and vote today!
All high schools are eligible to participate – you do not need to be an STN affiliate school.
Finalists will be shown on Channel One during Sunshine Week in mid March and on SchoolTube.com after the winners have been selected.
The Five Freedoms Contest is funded by a generous grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
