Husted
encourages youth to participate in Public Service Announcement
Contest
Two
weeks left for kids to submit entries and “school their parents”
on the rights and responsibilities of voting.
COLUMBUS
– Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted is reminding Ohio’s
school-aged children today that there is still time to take part in
the public service announcement (PSA) contest designed to inform
Ohioans about the responsibility of voting. The PSA contest engages
young Ohioans to think about the importance of voting and reminds
registered voters to participate in elections.
“We
have made it easier to vote in Ohio and who better to deliver that
message than the state’s future electorate,” Secretary Husted
said. “This contest will give winning participants the opportunity
to remind voters that voting is not just a right, but also a
responsibility, when their submissions are distributed statewide
ahead of the 2014 General Election.”
Entitled
School Your Parents, this contest gives students in grades 3-12 the
chance to design a poster or create a video explaining the importance
of voting to them using the theme Vote! It’s Your Right. It’s
Your Responsibility.
Submissions
for the School Your Parents Poster and Video contest must be received
by March 14, 2014, and can be submitted electronically or by mail.
Posters should be 11 inches by 17 inches and videos should be 15 to
30 seconds in length. The winning submissions will be selected at the
end of March 2014 and featured during the 2014 General Election.
