HMSA Teen Video Awards Contest

HMSA believes in fostering the creative talents of Hawaii’s young people. Each year, HMSA invites students from Hawaii’s public and independent schools to create video public service announcements focusing on fitness/nutrition, social health, being drug- and tobacco-free, and preventing underage drinking. Last year, 220 videos were submitted.

Winners received cash awards to purchase video equipment and software for their schools. The winning videos aired on local TV channels and HMSA Now on YouTube.

HMSA, the Hawaii Department of Education, and Mothers Against Drunk Driving sponsored the event in 2009.
