A Few Things to Keep in Mind...

• Contest applications will be judged on creativity, overall activism, and the number of students engaged in the activities. Students must play a leadership role in the project(s).
• The project(s) must be related to the teen driving issue.
• The student applicant's school must have current membership (as of November 15, 2010) with the National Asscociation of Student Councils, National Honor Society or National Junior Honor Society, and provide that membership number on the application.
• There is no limit to the number of projects that students can submit. The key is to encourage students to help protect their friends through Keep the Drive smart driving activities.
