CARE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH?

WANT TO WIN A PARTY BECAUSE YOU CARE?

MSI Needs Your Help:

We need students ages 13 to 17 to help the Mountain Studies Institute create PSA’s related to health effects of poor air quality, with specific attention to ground-level ozone and mercury contamination.

Win the 2010 PSA Contest and have your group photo posted here!

CONTEST DESCRIPTION:
Mountain Studies Institute is hosting   a contest for the best Public Service Announcement (PSA) related to health effects of poor air quality, with specific attention to ground-level ozone and mercury contamination. PSAs should not be advocacy oriented (for or against pollution sources). They should be strictly informational. The PSA contest is open to students ages 13 to 17. Interested students or groups of students should develop a 30 second (not including credits) audio or video PSA and submit them to Mountain Studies Institute. Prizes will go to the top 2 audio PSAs and the top 2 video PSAs .

PSA MESSAGE:
The goal for MSIs PSA program is to make available to the public the health care implications of poor air quality, particularly with ground-level ozone and mercury. PSAs should be strictly information based. They are not to advocate for or against any possible pollution sources. MSI is interested in broadcasting PSAs on local radio and television stations. The PSAs need reflect the diversity cultures within the Four Corners Region.
