Virginia ABC's PSA Challenge
2010 PSA Challenge Winning Videos
Congratulations to all who participated in Virginia ABC's 2010 PSA Challenge—Underage Drinking Has No Place…!
The PSA Challenge gave Virginia middle and high school students broad creative license to produce public service announcements with the tagline "Alcohol Has No Place…" . From somber-to-silly, sophisticated-to-simple, the winning PSAs reflect Virginia middle and high school students' uncensored points of view.
Get the Conversation Rolling!
Parents have a great deal of influence on children's attitudes and behaviors related to alcohol. Unfortunately, many adults find it difficult to talk to pre-teens and teenagers about the dangers and consequences of underage drinking. Use these student-produced videos to get the conversation rolling!
