Contest
Teen Video Competition
I've written before about the importance of teen driving safety education and parental involvement with adolescents. Morally as a professional blogger and personally as a mother of four teens -- Girl, Girl, Boy Triplets plus a son just one year older who will be getting his driver's license soon -- I feel there's something else that is a true public service to share with every American family. All MBE readers who have teens are invited to join me in encouraging your teenage kids to enter the 2012 Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Power of You(th) Video Contest.

| My Teens Have Attitudes, Doesn't Every Kid at This Stage? |
"The Power of You(th) is the
power you hold to save some of the 6,000 lives that are lost each year
because of underage drinking," explains
MADD. "We invite teens to take a stand and create a short video that
encourages peers to avoid drinking alcohol and to never even get in a car
as a passenger with someone who's been drinking."
Great Prizes: An iPad Plus a Trip to Dallas For Each of 5 Finalists
Each of five finalists
will win a new iPad. These winners also get an all-expense paid trip for themselves and one guardian to Dallas in
June 2012 for the Teen Influencer Summit to help create a national
initiative. As a member of MADD's National Teen
Influencer Group comprised of young people from all over America they'll be part of a collective making a real difference by influencing their friends and making an
impact in their schools, homes and communities.
The Grand Prize Winner will also receive an all-expense paid trip for himself/herself and one guardian to Washington D.C. for MADD’s National Conference in September 2012.

MADD Power of You(th)
Teen Video Contest
Teen Video Contest
Submissions due by April 27, 2012
Entry Details HERE
Teens -- even those not interested in entering the current video contest -- can also do something else very positive for themselves and their friends. How? Teens can easily take a stand by signing pledges via the MADD Power of You(th) Facebook Page to not drink before age 21 and to never ride in a car with someone who’s been drinking. Kids can also enter to win NFL prizes by drafting friends to follow their leads and also sign pledges on that page.
The Power of You(th) Teen community outreach program is orchestrated by nonprofit Mothers Against Drunk Driving and is made possible by national presenting sponsor State Farm
