<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Project Yellow Light is a scholarship competition designed to bring about change. As an applicant, you have one clear mission: encourage your peers to develop and embrace safe driving habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create either a video, a billboard, OR a radio spot designed to motivate, persuade and encourage your peers not to drive distracted.<\/strong> You have a unique opportunity to play a key role in spreading this important message. You can speak to your peers on this subject in a way that adults cannot. The more lives you can impact, the more lives you can save.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Video Guidelines<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Create a video EITHER exactly :25 or exactly :55 seconds addressing young drivers who are new to the road. Your video should aim to stop distracted driving. Pick one type of distraction as the subject of your video: Texting while driving, E-mailing, Tweeting, Facebooking or anything else someone does with their thumbs and their phone instead of keeping them on the wheel. No entry will be accepted with footage of a person ACTUALLY texting while driving! But there are ways to get around it (see FAQ). If your video is selected as a winner and is distributed as an Ad Council PSA, we will add on a 05 second end frame to make the full video 30 or 60. You must be a high school junior or senior or a full-time college student to participate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deadline<\/strong>: April 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amount(s)<\/strong>: $8,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Billboard Guidelines<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Create a design for a billboard advertisement to encourage safe habits among new drivers. Your goal is to stop distracted driving; specifically texting while driving. Limit your design to a clear image with 7 words or less. Please look here<\/a> for inspiration. Also, please review the Clear Channel Outdoor best practices guide<\/a> for tips on making effective outdoor advertising. If your entry is selected, your work will be turned into a professional public service billboard by the Ad Council and shown on billboards across the U.S. courtesy of Clear Channel Outdoor. You must be a high school junior or senior or full-time college student to participate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deadline<\/strong>: March 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amount<\/strong>: $2,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Radio Guidelines<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stop distracted driving. And like drivers, radio advertisements are better when they are focused and clearly communicate your message. So concentrate on the concerns and consequences of using a mobile device while driving! You can look here<\/a> for inspiration; also, please review the iHeartRadio best practices guide here<\/a> for tips on making effective radio advertising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deadline<\/strong>: April\u00a01<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amount<\/strong>: $2,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n
