Grade 12 students on the North Shore could win up to $6,000 for their school's dry grad celebration.
Starting Sept. 9, the British Columbia Automobile Association, in partnership with its Road Safety Foundation, is launching its fourth annual Dry Grad Video Challenge. Grade 12 students throughout B.C. and the Yukon are invited to create a 90-second video which speaks out against driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Students have until Nov. 4 to submit their videos online at bcaa.com/drygrad. Entries will be judged by a panel and the top five videos will appear on BCAA's website for public voting in December.
Winners will be announced in January, and the producers of the first-, second-and third-place videos will be awarded $6,000, $4,000 and $2,000, respectively, to support their school's dry grad celebration.
The first 75 high schools to submit a qualified video will each receive a free one-year BCAA basic membership certificate, which can be used as a gift, door prize or auction item, to help with dry grad fundraising.
Last year, the Dry Grad Video Challenge generated more than 5,000 online votes. Collectively, the top five videos received more than 14,000 views on YouTube. A complete list of contest rules and details can be found at bcaa.com/drygrad.
