O[yes] is wrapping up the 2020-21 O[yes] Media Contest and the results are in!

For the first time in the contest’s 13-year history, the 2020-2021 contest featured a graphic design category and a new theme. Students were invited to create a 30-90 second video or a graphic design that inspires young workers to think twice about their personal health and safety at work, while highlighting the theme Work. It can be more dangerous than you think.

This year’s finalists came from four high schools spanning across the state: Parkrose High School (Portland), Pendleton High School (Pendleton), Ridgeview High School (Redmond) and Sutherlin High School (Winston).

The top winners in each category were:

Video category:

• Safety – The Virtual Way, Parkrose High School ($500)

Graphic design category:

• Don’t Let Your Safety Stumble – Ridgeview High School ($500)
• Wire Trip – Pendleton High School ($400)
• Dangerous Work – Sutherlin High School ($300)

The first-place winning teams in each category also earned a matching award for their schools.
