Drive Safe Chicago
An exciting contest for teens about the Dangers of Speeding.
Challenge
Send us your idea for a 30-second TV ad about The Dangers of Speeding. Speeding increases the risk of losing control of your vehicle, decreasing braking distance, and making crashes more severe. It endangers not only the driver but everyone on the road.
Prize
You can win $2,000.00 PLUS Work with an Emmy Award-winning production team to make your idea into a Public Service Announcement to be featured on national TV.
Why
You can help prevent crashes that kill and injure thousands every year. For teens, crashes are the #1 killer. Your PSA idea can help make a difference.
Details
Contest opens September 15, 2025. All entries must be received by December 19, 2025. Open to teens aged 13 through 19 in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Iowa.
