Tisch School of the Arts is calling on you, its students, to produce 30-to-90-second voter engagement-focused public service announcements (PSAs). Your PSA can take the form of a filmed segment, animation, recorded monologue, photo, game or jingle! The aim of these non-partisan PSAs is to start conversations around the importance of youth voter turnout on a peer-to-peer level.

PSAs will be reviewed by a panel of Tisch students, faculty, and staff. Winning projects will be awarded $200 and featured on Tisch’s website and social media.
