DeWine
Announces 2016 Take Action Scholarship Contest
(COLUMBUS, Ohio)—Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine today announced the
start of the eighth annual Take Action Video Contest, which gives Ohio
high school students a chance to win up to $2,500 in college
scholarships.
“This contest helps high school students learn about consumer
protection while competing to earn money for college,” Attorney General
DeWine said. “Students can work together in groups or enter as
individuals. I encourage high school students throughout Ohio to
participate.”
To enter the contest, Ohio high school students (grades 9 to 12) must
produce and submit a 60-second video warning Ohioans about one of the
following topics:
Imposter scams
Cybersecurity privacy and safety
Importance of checking your credit report
The deadline to submit a video is Dec. 9, 2016. Winners will be
announced in March 2017 during National Consumer Protection Week.
The top three winning individuals or teams will receive college
scholarships of $2,500, $1,500, and $1,000, respectively, and their
videos may be featured on the Attorney General's website.
Official guidelines and promotional materials are available at
www.OhioAttorneyGeneral.gov/TakeActionContest. Teachers and
administrators are encouraged to print out and display a copy of the
2016 Take Action Contest flier in their schools.
Last year’s winning videos also are available on the Ohio Attorney
General’s website.
