PSA Contest #3 “Nope”

Prompt

Audience: Youth grades 6-12

Format: Short Film / Narrative

Social pressure is real. Create a PSA that encourages your peers to speak up and say no.

You must dramatize the following scene: A student is feeling peer pressured to get into a vehicle with some friends that may be impaired. How does the student get out of this situation?

If you choose to use a vehicle in your PSA, it must be stationary. It can’t be moving. It can’t be running. And as a reminder, if you choose to show drugs or alcohol in your video, they must be fake props, not real drugs or real alcohol.
