[Troop139] Make a Preparedness Video and Win a Prize!

[James Gordon Beattie, Jr.]

Subject:FW: Participate in ASPR's My Preparedness Story Video Challenge!

For the boys!

Perhaps they can win some money for the troop!

 

Don’t delay participating in HHS ASPR’s My Preparedness Story: Staying Healthy and Resilient Video Challenge! 

This contest invites young people between the ages of 14 and 23 to create a short video, 60 seconds or less, that answers the question, “How are you helping family, friends, and community to protect their health during disasters and every day?”

The video can show young people volunteering at an event for your local MRC that shows what they’re doing to keep their community healthy and resilient. Be creative! It would be great to have a MRC volunteer’s video be selected to help others learn better ways to prepare their communities for disasters and emergencies.

There will be a grand prize award of $2,000, second prize award of $1,000, and third prize award of $500.

Entries are due March 28, 2016 at 11 p.m. EST. Submission guidelines, rules for eligibility, and other details are available at https://www.challenge.gov/challenge/my-preparedness-story-staying-healthy-and-resilient/. 

Get involved in the My Preparedness Story Video Challenge Today!

Get your MRC volunteers to submit videos! Not only can individual MRC volunteers get involved but they can form a team. Great opportunity for units with student volunteers and Junior MRCs. (Get volunteers to wear MRC gear while showing how they are making a difference with their MRC.) Promote the challenge to young people you know as well as to groups in your communities! Encourage young people to get involved in promoting preparedness by sharing about the video challenge with your community partners, local high schools, youth organizations such as local HOSA chapters and 4-H Clubs, colleges/universities. Be sure to check out the My Preparedness Challenge Digital Engagement Toolkit for tools to help you with promoting the challenge. 

 

Please let us know how you plan to participate in the My Preparedness Story Video Challenge, whether you are using this as an opportunity to conduct outreach to young people, have volunteers submit videos, or both!
