The Discovery Education Toyota Teen Driver Video Challenge invites students from grades 9 - 12 to submit a video about safe teen driving and win money for college. The contest gives cash awards to one grand prize winner and one first prize winner.
To enter, students simply create a 60-90 second video describing how they would make teens safer drivers. The public can then go to a specific website to vote for the best video. Number of votes will determine the winners.
The grand prize winner will receive a cash award and an opportunity to create a 30-second public service announcement about safe driving with a Discovery Film crew. First prize winner also receives a cash award and a free trip to attend a filming of Velocity in Los Angeles, California.
Students must be at least 13 years old to enter. They may work alone or in teams of two or four students. Videos are judged according to their creativity, and the quality of the content and presentation.
The contest is sponsored by Toyota to encourage more students to think about safety when driving. The company's goal is to help young drivers develop good driving habits that will keep them safe on the road.
The deadline for this scholarship is usually in MARCH of each year, and the award amount is usually $15,000.
