Calling All Bay Area Youth: Fight Poverty! Through Film

Here’s your chance to channel your creativity and inspire people to transform our communities! AT&T is sponsoring a youth video contest for the United Way of the Bay Area’s MAKE IT BE initiative.

MAKE IT BE is a growing movement committed to cutting Bay Area poverty in half by 2020. Right now, 1 in 5 residents struggle to get by. We’re going to change that through MAKE IT BE. Use your creativity and join the movement! If chosen, you could be part of the teen team creating a video to be aired on local AT&T U-verse!

About the United Way MAKE IT BE Video Challenge
If you are a Bay Area high-school student, then you can get hands-on experience, developing a Public Service Announcement (PSA) that inspires the Bay Area to give back to the community. NO EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY!

If selected, you will work on one of two all-teen film crews to create and produce your PSA during a fast-paced, five-day shoot during Summer Break (August 5-9). Your completed PSA will be showcased online, where people across the Bay Area will view it and vote for it. The PSA that receives the most votes will be shown on local AT&T U-verse this fall!

Ready to transform your ideas into reality? Apply now!
Deadline is July 29th at 3 p.m. (Pacific Standard Time).

 P.S. – A Public Service Announcement, or PSA, is an advertisement that raises community awareness about a particular issue to change attitudes and inspire people to take action.
