Details
In collaboration with Gandhi Brigade, Montgomery County Recreation is pleased to announce the launch of the #ThisIsWhy Youth PSA Campaign, a contest and call-to-action that calls for youth to prepare videos of themselves at home, discussing the hardships of quarantine and social distancing. We’re providing a platform for the voices of the youth to be heard. At the end of each video, each person will say, #ThisIsWhy I choose to #stayhome, also utilizing these hashtags to track submissions. This campaign is a way of saying, despite the inconveniences of quarantine, they understand the importance. For example, “I love my grandmother, who is diabetic and lives with us. #ThisIsWhy I choose to #stayhome.”
To enter this contest, participants must post a video that is no longer than one minute to Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram, tagging Montgomery County Recreation and Gandhi Brigade. Submissions will be accepted on a rolling basis and will close on June 5, 2020 at 11:59 p.m.
There are four submission categories:
1. Elementary School, Grades K-5
2. Middle School, Grades 6-8
3. High School, Grades 9-12
4. Young Adult, Ages 18-25
