HensonFuerst invites community to vote online; Winning entry airs on local television
Raleigh, N.C. (Vocus/PRWEB ) February 9, 2010 -- The HensonFuerst Bicycle Safety PSA Contest is back! The members of the law firm are challenging teens in Eastern North Carolina to use their imaginations and create videos about the importance of bicycle safety.
Two years ago, the firm represented the husband of a local cyclist who was killed by a motorist while riding her bike. Members of the firm pledged all of the attorney fees from the case to fund bike safety awareness programs, such as the PSA contest and a series of cycling safety videos.
“North Carolina’s youngest cyclists and filmmakers get to show us how safety is important to them,” attorney and avid cyclist Thomas W. Henson Jr. said. “Last year’s entries were incredible, and we’re looking forward to seeing what students have in store for us this year.”
Last year’s winner, Clay Allsopp, hasn’t rested since receiving his $1,500 prize. “The contest showed me that I can take my skills in technology and use them to do something good for my community. I’ve invested my winnings into creating four iPhone apps. One of these apps, Paper Planes, is included in the ‘Top 50 Family Games’ and has been downloaded more than 100,000 times. Without the HensonFuerst PSA contest, I couldn't have done any of this!” Allsopp said.
Local Teens Hold the Camera…And the Power
High school students (grades 9 to 12) in Eastern North Carolina must enter video PSAs, which should be 29 seconds long and address the importance of bicycle safety. Entries must be postmarked no later than April 7, 2010, and will be judged on students’ abilities to analyze the topic and produce a quality video.
