St. Michael-Albertville Student Aims for Spot During MTV Music Awards
High school student Eli Guillou, whose video talents are no stranger to Patch readers, is hoping to win a 30-second spot during the MTV Music Video Awards. You can help him along the way by voting.
The Minnesota Department of Public Safety is teaming up with local high school students to create a new public safety message about seatbelt use, from the vantage point of one of the biggest at-risk populations in the state–teen drivers.
Statistics show teens are more likely to suffer injury in an auto crash than come down with most common diseases, yet thousands of teens across Minnesota get behind the wheel each day without buckling up.
That's where the video campaign comes in.
