Submission Categories

(30-second to 60-second PSAs accepted)

Learn about the different steps involved in submitting an entry to the contest. If you have any questions, contact SOARPH@ruhealth.org

Step 1: Select an Adult Advisor

All youth participants must have an adult advisor. An advisor can be anyone from your school, program, club, or organization—such as a teacher, professor, parent, coach, or other adult supporter.

Visit the Advisor Resources page to learn more about the advisor role and responsibilities.

Step 2: Sign Release Forms

All youth participants must sign a release form. If you are under 18, your parent or legal guardian must sign as well. By signing the release form, you share ownership of your submitted entry with us. You may continue using your video however you’d like, and you also give us permission to share it on our website or social media.

Complete the fillable release form and upload it, or print the form, sign it, and upload a scanned copy or photo.

Step 3: Select Your Submission Category

Each category has specific content guidelines. You may submit as many entries as you’d like. As you work on your video, make sure every cast and crew member signs a release form. You will not be able to submit your entry form until all required release forms are completed.

Visit the Submission Categories page to learn more about the content guidelines for each category.
