PSAid is a nationwide contest that calls on college students across the country to submit public service announcement (PSA) entries that demonstrate why monetary donations are the most effective way to support international disaster relief. Through the contest, students learn donation best practices and help convey why Cash Is Best in helping aid groups respond to disasters that occur internationally.
Disasters happen fast, and thats why its important to show what is the fastest and efficient way to help, said Lisa Trahin, third place winner in the video category. In my video, I show how cash can travel in more ways than one without leaving a big carbon footprint.
This years winning entries were selected from 112 submissions chosen from a pool of submissions from 167 college students in the categories of video, print and digital image PSAs. Universities played a key role in PSAid, with many professors incorporating the contest into their curricula and a number of classrooms participating in webinars with CIDI staff.
The winning PSAs could be featured in prominent magazines or aired during popular television programs, and will be used in CIDIs Cash is Best education efforts.
