Muscle Powered announces Carson City area student winners in 'No Zombie Texting' contest
CARSON CITY — Winners in the No Zombie Texting Video Competition have been announced. Muscle Powered, a nonprofit advocacy organization that works to make Carson City safer for pedestrians and cyclists announced the awards this week.
The student teams received cash awards at the end of the last school year, winning videos are being distributed statewide to media outlets now to help get the school year off to a safe start. The videos are all posted to YouTube and are available for television and cable outlets to download and run as public service announcements.
The dramatic and emotionally charged :30 second educational PSAs show teenagers texting and the damage that activity causes, to them and to those around them.
“Texting while walking, biking, or driving kills. Put down the phone,” says Kelly Clark, the coordinator for the project, which was funded by the Governor’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board.
“These students did a phenomenal job depicting the dangers of texting while driving, and we hope media outlets across the state will share these award winning videos to help educate others.”
