Welcome to the official page for the 2022-2023 O[yes] Media Contest!

High school students across Oregon were invited to participate in our annual O[yes] Media Contest. This contest, now in its 15^th year, puts a spotlight on the importance of young worker safety and health. This year’s competition challenged participants to create either a 30- to 90-second video or graphic design that inspires young workers to take the O[yes] online Safety Awareness Training to bolster their knowledge of how to stay safe and healthy while on the job.

This year’s finalists came from high schools around the state: Bend Senior High School (Bend), Crescent Valley High School (Corvallis), Henley High School (Klamath Falls), Klamath Union High School (Klamath Falls), Lincoln High School (Portland), Parkrose High School (Portland), Springfield High School (Springfield), West Linn High School (West Linn), Westview High School (Portland), and Wilsonville High School (Wilsonville).
