VTRANS' 1st annual statewide contest, open to high school students in Vermont. The goal of the video was to engage and impact drivers, friends, and peers to help avoid distracted driving.

The second place winner Tanner Bischofberger and Kyle Monier of River Valley Technical Center were awarded $500. The third place winner Isaak Olson of Essex High School was awarded $250. The videos were both impressive and reflected high quality of work.
