For the first time in the contest’s 12-year history we are featuring a new theme and have added a graphic design category to the contest!
High school students across Oregon are invited to create a 30-90 second video OR graphic design that inspires young workers to think twice about their personal health and safety at work.
Videos or graphic designs must include the tagline “Work. It can be more dangerous than you think.” and incorporate one of the two theme options:
- Hit by or pushed against an object
- Slips, trips and falls on walking surfaces
A first, second and third place will be awarded in EACH of the two categories: video and graphic design. In each category, the first-place winner’s school or sanctioning club or organization will receive a matching award.
- First place: $500
- Second place: $400
- Third place: $300
If you are or know of a high school student in Oregon with a passion for filmmaking or graphic design, visit our website for more information: https://youngemployeesafety.org/contest/
The deadline for submission if 5:00pm on Friday, February 19, 2021.
