Underage Drinking Essay, Video and Poster Contest
As part of the Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board’s efforts to educate young people about the dangers of alcohol and discourage underage and binge drinking, the ABC Board’s Under Age, Under Arrest initiative is holding an essay and video contest for middle- and high-school students. The topic of the contest is “The Danger of Underage Drinking,” and entries should convey a message about the risks or dangers associated with underage and binge drinking.
The contest is open to individuals and school groups in grades 7-12. Entries can be in the essay, video or poster categories, and first-, second- and third-place prizes will be awarded in each category. Winners will be judged by the ABC Board in conjunction with Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Alabama.
Prizes
The following prizes will be awarded in each category:
First Place: $300
Second Place: $200
Third Place: $100
In addition, the first-place winning video may be used as a public service announcement for TV use and will be featured on the ABC Board’s website. First-, second- and third-place winners in the essay, video and poster categories will be shared via social media and featured on the Under Age, Under Arrest website, www.alabcboard.gov/underage-underarrest.
