PennDOT asks teens to design radio campaigns about distracted driving
Can you say gamification?
PennDOT needs a new distracted driving campaign for its Drive Safe PA initiative, so it’s putting the work in the hands of teenagers.
High school sophomores, juniors and seniors are invited to come up with radio campaigns that discourage distracted driving practices. Eleven regional winners will go to Harrisburg to have their 30-second spots professionally recorded and sent to radio stations for air play during National Youth Traffic Safety Month in May.
Contest rules outline specific entry guidelines and the March 23 due date.
