Youth in grades 6-12 may create and submit a public service announcement, in
a format of the entrants' choosing and no longer than 30 seconds in length,
addressing any aspect of Internet safety. Ideal entries will effectively
highlight a problem students face when using the Internet and, in light of
that problem, address how students can be safe when using the Internet. The
video should be targeted to students in grades 6-12. The entrants of the
winning team will each receive a Microsoft XBox 360 and the second and third
place entries will also be awarded prizes. Additional prize and contest
information will be updated and posted on the contest Web site, which can be
accessed at http://www.oag.state.va.us/ProjectSafetyNetVA . The winning
entry will be aired as a public service announcement on television in
Virginia.

Create a 30-second public-service announcement about how to be safe on the
Internet. Deadline: February 1, 2008.
Steps
* 1. Create a team of one to three students
