Public Health Madison & Dane County, as well as other Dane County organizations, announced a Fit2Film Youth Video Contest for middle and high school students to promote healthy lifestyles in a press release Sunday.
The students are asked to create 30- to 60-second public-service commercials that promote healthy diets or physical fitness, according to the press release.
The videos will be rated, allowing the top-rated videos air time through local media outlets. The Madison Health partnership will distribute trophies to the top teams at an award ceremony in May.
According to the release, grand prize-winning team members will receive free enrollment to the Madison Media Institutes Summer Video Production Camp.
Submission DVDs must be sent into the Public Health Madison & Dane County offices at 210 Martin Luther King Blvd. no later than April 9, according to the Fit2Film website. Entry forms, which can be downloaded from the website, must be mailed in with the DVD.
