JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Students in grades 5-12 created storyboards to compete in a contest to create 30-second public service announcement on an issue important to teens, and the winning entries from two schools were professionally produced as television PSAs that will air on Channel 4 and ThisTV Jacksonville.
Some of the topics submitted included bullying, texting and driving, sexting, body image, fitting in and dealing with peer pressure. Entries were judged based on creativity, effectiveness of message, relevance to teen audience and overall presentation.
