The annual “Speak Up, Save a Life” student video contest will have increased prize money for the top selections as the County Office of the State’s Attorney has partnered with the “Good Samaritan Fund” to make the intriguing contest even more inspiring. The contest challenges teenagers to create an original video to promote awareness about the dangers of illicit opioids, fentanyl and the risk of overdose. Videos must be submitted by Tuesday, Nov. 12.
The video contest is open to students in grades 6-12 who live in Montgomery County. The 2024 contest is now open and accepting entries. To register, click on this link.
The top prize for this year’s contest will be $4,000. The second-place selection will earn $2,000. The third-place award and “fan favorite” winners will receive $750 each.
The prize money has been donated by The Magnolia Companies in honor of two young Montgomery County residents lost to fentanyl: Michael Pisarra and Matthew Loudon.
