The Allstate Foundation’s Driving Force in Journalism Contest

Deadline Quickly Approaching:
The Allstate Foundation’s Driving Force in Journalism Contest

Did you know car crashes are the No. 1 killer of teens – more than suicide, drugs, and violence combined? But, most crashes are both predictable AND preventable.

The Allstate Foundation is holding a high school newspaper challenge where students can win up to $3,500 in cash. To help high school journalists use their skills to make a difference and create awareness about the No. 1 killer of teens, we hope you can encourage your students to publish an article in their school paper about smart driving.

To help aspiring writers get started, The Allstate Foundation has provided story topic ideas, tips on smart driving, startling facts, and other resources at www.keepthedrive.com/journalist.

But be sure to act fast! The deadline for all submissions is March 6, 2009.
