U B the RENT Video Contest
UPDATE:
The Youth Advisory Committee met on Saturday, April 5th, 2008 to view and select the top three contest entries from the Coalition Communities for the UB THE RENT video PSA contest. Of the top three it was determined that there would be one 1st Place winner along with two 2nd Place winners. The top three entries were then delivered to the Partnership for Drug Free America, Arizona Affiliates’ office to be entered into the larger statewide contest. The entries that were sent in to the statewide contest went through a second selection process that determined the top three entries to be available on line at the Partnership for Drug Free America, Arizona Affiliate’s website for viewing and voting. The Coalition’s 1st place winner, submitted by a sophomore from Desert Mountain High School took 2nd place in the overall statewide contest. The video can be viewed at UB THE RENT

ORIGINAL MESSAGE:
The Partnership for a Drug-Free America, Arizona Affiliate in collaboration with the Northeast Valley Coalition Against Methamphetamine is hosting a video contest to engage students in a fun and creative way to share information.
U B The Rent contest is about giving teens a voice. It is about tuning parents in to what really goes on in a teen’s life whether they create a video about being approached to try drugs or how they see friends using drugs, this contest gives teens a voice to make parents more aware about the issues they face or the lifestyle they lead.
The Northeast Valley Coalition Against Methamphetamine, Youth Advisory Committee will be judging the contest entries from the Coalition communities (Carefree, Cave Creek, Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, Fountain Hills, Paradise Valley, Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community and Scottsdale). Three finalists will be selected to move on to the state-wide contest. The Coalition will be awarding iTunes gift cards to the finalist. A grand prizewinner from across Arizona will be chosen from the entries and the winner will receive a new iPod video nano.
