Here's how the contest works: 

We're looking for radio scripts and TV storyboards for 30-second ads written by New Mexico youth, aimed at preventing tobacco use by New Mexico youth.

We're particularly interested in ads aimed at youth from low-income households, rural youth, Native American youth, LGBT youth, and youth with disabilities, as well as storyboards and scripts in languages other than English. 

Your ad could tell the deadly truth about tobacco.  It could slam the tobacco industry’s lies.  It could talk about why so many young people are choosing to live tobacco-free lives.  Or anything else you think up!

The deadline for entries is December 12, 2008. 

In January, we’ll pick 8 contest winners (4 TV storyboards and 4 radio scripts).  Each winner will receive $500 cash!

There’s even a chance your ad could be picked for statewide radio or TV broadcast.  If it is, you’ll get $5,000! (Yes, five thousand dollars!)

Explore our website to see the winning TV & radio spots in our previous contests, and to learn how to create an effective tobaccco prevention message.  Then start talking back to Big Tobacco!
