A trip to the mall, a dinner with friends, or a basketball game are all fun activities I do on the weekends with my friends. While these are fun activities, they do tend to add up on my debit card and as a broke college student, that can be difficult to navigate. Being a student is already a full-time job, and it can be hard to balance being a student with a retail or restaurant position. So, what if I told you, you had the chance to win cold hard cash to cover these fun endeavors? And what if I told you that you could win this money with friends and it would only take a few minutes of your day?
The NIAAA challenge offers twelve $500, three $1,000, and one $2,000 prizes for students who create a short 1-2 minute video about underage drinking. As a past recipient, the video is fairly simple to make, and you can be as creative as you would like. You can submit the video as an individual or with a group of friends and cover a few dinners out together with the prize money!
In addition, this contest is simple because the NIAAA has already gathered the important facts for you, so no research is required on your end. This contest is also seeking your opinions and creativity in the videos because these are designed for students by students. Getting to be as creative as you like always makes for a fun time.
To participate in this challenge, the rules are simple. You just have to be in the eleven to twenty-one age range, follow SADD on social media, and be an active MySADD member (or sign up - it's easy). When signing up to be a MySADD member, you can register as an individual if your school doesn’t have a chapter, so no worries there.
If you have fun creating this video, don’t worry you can always submit more than one video to the contest, and the judges would love to see all of the ideas you have. You can create a fun skit, a simple video reading off statistics, etc., and it can even be done at home. When I submitted my video, it was a simple video from my family home office, which goes to show you don’t have to have an elaborate setting or outfit to participate in this challenge.
I highly encourage you all to submit a video, because you never know if you could be one of the next winners! The challenge ends on March 3rd, 2025 so best of luck and get to creating!
