Stop Bullying Video Challenge Submission Deadline Approaching

The submission deadline for the Stop Bullying Video Challenge is just one month away. 

 Remember:  The challenge is open to U.S. students between the ages of 13 and 18 years old. It is designed to showcase ways that youth are taking action against bullying and promoting a culture of kindness and respect in their communities.  

Full details about the contest, including judging criteria, are available at stopbullying.challenge.gov. For a few ideas about what constitutes a winning submission, please see the checklist below:

-The video and its message are appropriate to theme. The submission focuses on how youth can prevent bullying by being “more than a bystander.” It communicates a positive message that involves kids talking to kids and does more than simply explain why bullying is wrong.

-The video is creative and original. It offers a fresh, innovative approach to bullying prevention, using audio and visuals to enhance the overall message.

-The video is appealing and entertaining for viewers and promotes StopBullying.gov. It must also fall between 30 and 60 seconds in length.
