PSA COMPETITION
The Kangaroo Project has announced the 2004 deadline for its third annual PSA competition.
This year’s competition focuses on AIDS prevention and education: “AIDS has become a crisis of America’s youth. In the United States, half of the 40,000 new HIV infections each year are among people under 25. In 2002, it was estimated that there were 3.2 million teens under 15 living with HIV. Risky behavior has increased [among America's youth] and, consequently, so has HIV infections… The challenge is to create a PSA that will address these issues and reach the youth audience with the message ‘protect yourself’.”
The deadline to submit a concept for this year’s competition is June 11; for the Director’s Competition it is July 30. Fore more information visit the project Web site for an online application, or contact Kirk Hokanson, Voodoo Films, (612) 617-0000. The Kangaroo project is organized by the Sean Francis Foundation, a not-for-profit organizatuion memoralizing Sean Francis, who had a love and appreciation for film and creative media.
