Overview
The YMCA of Greater Toronto's Youth Cannabis Awareness Program (YCAP) is presently running a Digital Media Contest that challenges youth (ages 18 – 25) to create a video or poster discussing how cannabis use affects youth brain development, and we were wondering if you’d be willing to help us choose a winner by joining the Contest Organizer’s Jury (CO Jury).
Details:
The CO Jury is made up of professionals whose work is focused on cannabis awareness or work with youth on a daily basis. Each member of the CO Jury will be asked to view the contest's top 10 videos and top 10 posters and complete a brief evaluation that judges both the each submission's visuals and messaging. The total expected time commitment for evaluating these submissions is about an hour.
When:
The CO Jury will be provided with the submissions the morning of November 16th and will have until 11:59pm on November 20th to complete their evaluation.
What's In It For You:
For your help selecting a winner, each CO Juror will receive a token of appreciation (i.e. a gift) and be invited to be a part of National Youth Cannabis Awareness Partnership Committee where you'll have an opportunity to network and collaborate with fellow members working in the cannabis awareness field. Additionally, by participating in the contest you’ll gain insight into what resonates with youth regarding cannabis awareness based on the messaging present in their submissions.
