Prom Safety Contest Opens To Fulton Students

ATLANTA, GA — Fulton County Youth Commissioners are collaborating with Radio One (HOT 107.9), AAA, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and A-Tow to promote a Prom Safety Campaign Contest.

Schools have been invited to help promote Prom Safety by creating an innovative in-school campaign, using any form of multi-media such as social media, videography, photography, print or other methods to promote safety. The safety campaign must promote the following themes:

• Prevention of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Prevention of alcohol consumption
• Prevention of drug usage
• Prevention of texting while driving
• Prevention of peer pressure and bullying
• Prevention of violence/weapons

The winning school of the contest, which is also supported by Music Education Group and Uber, will enjoy a performance by a surprise guest. Prom goers from the winning school will also enjoy a celebrity host, celebrity DJ and a live radio broadcast at the prom.

The competition is open to all senior classes in Atlanta and Fulton County public, private, and charter schools. (For more news like this, find your local Patch here. If you have an iPhone, click here to get the free Patch iPhone app; download the free Patch Android app here)

AAA will provide $1,500 to the winning school for prom preparations, and all participating schools will receive a prom safety kit worth $250. The ultimate purpose of the promotion is to encourage schools to create a prom safety plan to keep students safe as they enjoy their celebrations.

Prom Safety campaign concepts must be submitted in the form of JPEG, MP3/MP4, JIF, DOC, VID, and/or PDF. The Prom Safety concepts must be submitted to reginald.crossley@fultoncountyga.gov by Monday, April 2. Submissions will not be accepted after 5:30 p.m. April 2. For more information, interested school representatives may contact Reginald Crossley, Youth Commissioner Coordinator at (404) 612-7386.
