Oregon high school students can create a video or graphic ad encouraging teen workers to take Oregon OSHA's online heat illness prevention course, as part of a statewide media contest announced Oct. 20.
The contest, now in its 19th year, is run by the Oregon Young Employee Safety Coalition (O[yes]). Students can submit a graphic design or a video of 90 seconds or less. The top three entries in each category win $300 to $500, and the school of each first-place winner receives a matching award. O[yes] will use the best submissions as ads.
Entries are due by 5 p.m. PT Feb. 12, 2027, and must be submitted online. Contest rules and entry forms are available on the O[yes] contest page.
