2022 Youth Video Contest
Communities that Care of Greater Downingtown (CTC) hosted its 2nd annual alcohol, tobacco, and other drug (ATOD) prevention youth video contest. All 7th - 12th graders who reside in the Downingtown Area school district were invited to submit their videos to explain why they choose not to use drugs and alcohol.
CTC of Greater Downingtown knows that most youth do NOT use drugs and alcohol and they wish to celebrate that through this video contest. The Downingtown Area School District Pennsylvania Youth Survey (PAYS) data supports this statement as 83.8% of DASD youth said that they had not used alcohol in the past 30 days and 90.1% said that they had not used marijuana in the past 30 days (PAYS 2019).
CTC of Greater Downingtown asked youth to produce a short video with the creation of a motivational message to encourage others in their community to make healthy lifestyle choices and avoid using drugs & alcohol. The contest winner’s videos can be found below.
Prizes were awarded to the 1st - 3rd place winners, ranging from $250 - $150.
