ABOUT THE CONTEST

This contest engages students in teamwork, creativity, communication, and marketing skills, all while learning about the BBB’s resources that are available to protect their financial future. The great thing about this contest is that both the winning teams and the high schools of the winning teams win prizes!

School across East Texas are eligible to register and submit entries. The community then votes for their favorite video by giving likes on the corresponding YouTube video. Three winners are announced at the KLTV televised BBB Awards for Excellence. The winning student receives a scholarship for their efforts and the winning school receives a cash prize to advance their Arts, Audio Video Technology, and Communications (AAVTC) program.
