Do you still have Oscar fever? If so, you should probably see a doctor; it may be an actual fever.
But if for some reason your blood’s still boiling from last night’s Academy Awards, you should put your excitement to use and film a submission for our video contest on Facebook. The winning video will take home the only thing better than a golden statue: a free Blueprint LSAT Prep course.
The theme for the video contest is public service announcements (PSAs). In the style of a 30-second PSA (the cheesier, the better), alert the world of the dangers of self-studying for the LSAT. It may not be as important an issue as drugs or bullying, but as an LSAT prep company we’ve seen countless lives lost (or at least, countless law school applications dumped) due to self-studying for the LSAT. It’s a hard test to prepare for. Going at it alone only makes it more difficult.
So the creator of the best PSA will win their own free Blueprint LSAT Prep course, or can substitute it for a $300 cash prize. Second place wins a $400 voucher toward a Blueprint LSAT Prep course, or a $100 cash prize. Third place wins a free Blueprint LSAT Prep t-shirt and keychain. Check out the contest page for more details.
Now, if you’re looking for some inspiration and are too lazy to look up PSAs on YouTube, here are a few examples. This first one is perhaps the most famous PSA of all time:
In the ’90s, NBC ran a ton of PSAs as part of a campaign called The More You Know. At the time, they were poignant and stirring. Now they’re hilarious. Like this one:
The acting in this anti-steroids PSA is definitely Oscar-worthy:
This anti-marijuana PSA features the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who, if we’re being honest, totally fit the bill of stoners:
These days, PSAs can be pretty shocking and dark. This one’s sure to be funny some day…maybe…maybe not:
If you’re interesting in participating in our video contest to win a free Blueprint LSAT Prep course, it’s to your advantage to submit as soon as possible. Once your video is approved, it can start receiving votes.
If you have any questions, fire away in the comments. Otherwise, we look forward to watching your submissions before the March 20 deadline.
