It is recommended that the students be either in their Junior or Senior year. Please contact us if you are younger thanthat.

Some thoughts include: Gun Safety (i.e. hunter safety), Highway Safety (i.e.: distracted driving, seat belts, vehicle speed), Water Safety (i.e.: Personal flotation devices, drinking and boating), Fire Safety (i.e.:smoke detection) or use your own imagination.
We can coordinate local experts to assist in developing content for the PSA or feel free to contact your local ambulance director, law enforcement, fire department or other public agency. We can also assist with resources for the Wisconsin State Patrol, DNR, Fire Marshall Office, and the Wisconsin Trauma System.
Production:
Public Service Announcements must be 25 seconds in length.
Students may begin work on the videos at any time.
We can assist with some technical questions through the Northland News Center.
School Selection Process:
Since this is a peer to peer event, schools are encouraged to allow the student body to choose the final PSA to submit to the Lake Superior Regional Trauma Advisory Council for competition. However no school shall use less than 20 students to choose the video. If the school has very low enrollment please contact us for instructions.
Videos may be shown to the school as a whole in an assembly type gathering or may be uploaded to YouTube or other sites.
If the school would like to use an assembly, the Lake Superior RTAC along with other local trauma resources may be able to assist in preparing the assembly.
No student may vote more than one time for their favorite video.

The Lake Superior RTAC as well as the Northland News Center reserve the right to make minor edits to the video that will not change content but may help the video to flow better.
