The easiest way to spread COVID is through large gatherings, even if those gatherings are with friends and family. The fact of the matter is, traditional ways of celebrating the holidays are less safe for everyone involved.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Oregon Health Authority has said that people in their 20s continue to be the most likely to test positive for COVID. To raise awareness, Governor Kate Brown launched the statewide COIVD-19 #SafeHolidaysOR Public Service Announcement video contest. The contest entails any and all Oregon students to answer the question \u201cHow Do You Plan to Celebrate the Holidays Safely?\u201d in a 30 seconds or less.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Whether a student attends a school located in Oregon or lives in Oregon while attending school out of state, any K-12 and college student is eligible to enter. Governor Brown will choose the winners of the contest, share the videos across her social media platforms and invite the winners to a video chat with her.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The deadline for these videos is Dec. 18. There\u2019s only a couple of days left to enter; so, if you are interested, get your video in soon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A student can enter by submitting a PSA in video format through their <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSfKY4bQgoG9BTd6--CJp6R6UM3TGOJbRLt-lbPHaH_xk5_wkQ\/viewform\"><span>form<\/span><\/a><span>.<\/span> <span>If there are any issues submitting your video, email your submission directly to Sarah Dean at Sarah.Dean@Oregon.gov along with your name, city, school, and PSA title.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><b>Rules:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>PSA Videos must:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span>Answer the question: \u201cHow Do You Plan to Celebrate the Holidays Safely?\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Be 30 seconds or less.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Observe proper physical distancing and other public health recommendations.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Be student created.
