Contest Overview

Cupertino Safe Routes to School held a video competition for 6-12 grade students in the spring of 2021. We were looking for videos that advance the mission of Cupertino Safe Routes to School. Submissions needed to inspire people to walk, bike, scooter or take any other active transportation to school, or provide tips on how to be safe using active transportation. Video content could be in the form of a music video, short story, public service announcement, TikTok, animation, or any other type of video.
