High School Video Contest

High school students across the United States are invited to participate in a short video contest responding to the prompt: “What Would You Do?” to help prevent human trafficking. These videos will highlight potential human trafficking scenarios chosen by the students and result in raising awareness, educating, and empowering students and others on how to identify and prevent human trafficking. The video can be created by a group, individual, or class and must be under 3 minutes in length.

Topics may include, but are not limited to:

• Online Grooming

• Sexting
