Join MATFORCE in promoting a positive message of how we can #StayHealthy by creating a 15- or 30-second video.

The video can express any message on #StayHealthy and against drugs and alcohol the participants would like to share.

This contest is open to any middle and high school students. Please see the contest rules for more information on video categories.

Cash prizes awarded in each category:
