MCPS middle and high school students are invited to produce video public service announcements (PSAs) to encourage young people to talk with their friends about the importance of getting the COVID-19 vaccine.

Judges will select up to 25 videos, in English and Spanish, and use them on the county’s social media channels. Three high school and three middle school videos will be awarded prizes in early summer.

The contest is sponsored by the Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services in partnership with MCPS. Students can earn five Student Service Learning (SSL) hours for submitting an entry that meets all requirements.
