No School Spirits PSA Contest

The West Virginia Alcohol Beverage Control Administration is please to announce the 10th Annual NO School Spirits Public Service Announcement Contest.  High school and middle school students are invited to submit a video about the dangers of drinking and driving or underage alcohol use. The winning school will be invited to help develop a PSA (tv and radio) which will be broadcast across the state during the 2023 prom and graduation season.

Students may enter individually, as a group or as a classroom. The number of entries per school is unlimited; however, there is a limit of four entries per person. Adults and others may participate, but should have limited involvement in the creation and production of the PSA. The message should deliver a message targeting students’ peers about underage drinking and/or dangerous drinking behavior. The PSA may feature the students, school and surrounding community.

The grand prize is $5,000! Second place is $2,500. $1,000 for 3rd place, $750 for 4th and 5th place.  Prizes are funded by State Farm. The competition is also sponsored by WV Alcohol Beverage Control Administration, National Alcohol Beverage Control Association, and the Governor’s Highway Safety Program. The prize money must be used for a school sanctioned event or for school related materials. All winning schools will be publicly recognized.

The deadline for submission is Friday, Dec. 16, 2022, at 11:59 p.m.
