Burn Awareness Week is designed to provide an opportunity for burn, fire and life safety educators to unite in sharing a common burn awareness and prevention message in our communities. National Burn Awareness Week is February 7-13, 2010.
Create a 1-3 minute video exploring burn prevention topics. The video should include age appropriate material for a target audience of students in grades 9-12. Material should not demonstrate risky or otherwise unsafe behavior. There can be no actual fire. It should be both educational and informational. So many YouTube videos show risky behavior but never tell the “rest of the story”.
Contest is open to Grade 9-12 students enrolled in Massachusetts’
schools. We are accepting entries ONLY from school-sponsored communications courses or sponsored extra-curricular groups.
Entries should be submitted no later than Friday, December 18, 2009 at 5:00 PM, on CD or DVD.
The Grand Prize will be a digital video camera for the school and members of the winning team will share $200 in gifts cards from Best Buy.
The Second Place team will share $100 in gift cards from Best Buy.
The Third Place team will share $50 in gift cards from Best Buy.
