The event is co-sponsored by the Middlesex County Board of County Commissioners Robert Wood Johnson-Injury Prevention the Middlesex County Superintendent of Schools the Wellspring Center for Prevention, MADD-NJ and NJ Division of Highway Traffic Safety. A maximum of five students per youth-led team can collaborate to change the social climate of their community through the use of compelling PSAs that depict impaired and dangerous driving as unacceptable behavior. Each high school is invited to submit an English and/or Spanish 60-second student-produced public service announcement (PSA) or 30-second audio PSA, that focuses on the consequences of driving dangerously. The contest is open to teens in all public and non-public Middlesex County high schools. It has now expanded to include all dangerous driving to include all forms of dangerous driving such as impaired driving and distracted driving and is now titled: “Middlesex County’s 3D- Don’t Drive Dangerously” Contest. The program was developed in 2000 initially as the "Middlesex County Don't Drink and Drive PSA Video Contest", with the goal of reducing alcohol related fatalities among teens, specifically targeting prom and graduation season. This year is the 23 rd annual PSA Awards Contest for Middlesex County’s high schools.
