Congratulations to our contest winners!
Over a hundred high school and middle school students in the Rockwood community submitted entries for the inaugural “As Seen by Teens” substance abuse prevention public service announcement and poster contest sponsored by the Rockwood Drug-Free Coalition. The Judging and Awards Ceremony was held February 23rd at B&B Theater in Wildwood. Attendees viewed the posters and PSAs on a big screen, witnessed the independent judges complete their scoring rubrics, enjoyed entertainment provided by emcee Joe Fingerhut, and cast their own votes for an “audience choice” winner.
By engaging youth in prevention messaging, the Rockwood Drug-Free Coalition hopes to increase community awareness of substance abuse. All high school and middle school youth living or attending school within Rockwood School District boundaries were invited to participate.
