This an excellent opportunity for Middle and High School students in San Diego County! Reaching out to all the creative and talented students to help inspire others to make healthy choices, especially when it comes to not using alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, or other drugs. This year's annual 420 Remix, a celebration of sober and drug-free choices, invites students to submit either a still image in landscape format that will go on the billboard, a 30-second video, or social media post for a chance to win prizes and have your entry featured on the billboard in local movie theater ads or online. Substance use is a big problem, but the good news is that most teens don't use, and more can make that choice with positive influences—help and support from people like you. Your entry can be part of the positive influence.
