The winning spots will be produced in spring 2010 by youth producers at our community partners, KUNM-FM and Community Cable Access Channel 27. They will premiere at the Fame & Shame Awards at the KiMo Theatre in Downtown Albuquerque on May 8, and will be distributed on DVD to schools and tobacco prevention organizations around the state. Thank you to all the New Mexico youth who Talked Back to Big Tobacco!
