Mesa Students Triumph in Move Safe PSA Contest Promoting Biking and Walking Safety
The City of Mesa's Bicycle and Pedestrian Program has crowned the winners of its Move Safe Public Service Announcement Contest. Mesa students, aged 12-18, were called to action to produce a 30-second clip demonstrating safe methods to traverse the city by walking, biking, or rolling.
Taking home the Grand Prize is "Cool Biking Tips," a PSA crafted by Mesa native Alex Barker. The runners-up, with their eyes fixed on safety, are Sean Mitchell for "Crosswalking 101" and the team of William Reynolds, William Good, Benjamin Reynolds, and Adam Florez with "Daily's Bicycling Tips." Garnering over 11 submissions from four different schools, the entries were scrutinized by judges from ASU, Cox Communications, Phoenix Film Festival, and personnel from the City of Mesa. The judge's criteria focused on film production quality, the clarity of the message, and the originality of each submission.
"We're pleased by the continued response of our youth to the Move Safe Public Service Announcement Contest," Mesa Transportation Director RJ Zeder conveyed to mesaaz.gov. He asserts, "The student engagement underscores the importance of fostering a culture of road safety awareness for all ages in the community."
The winning PSA will not only light up the silver screen in Harkins theaters until May 26 but will also see airtime on select Cox Communications channels and the Bicycle and Pedestrian Program's Facebook page. Barker, along with receiving a private tour of ASU MIX Center and getting feedback from a university professor, will also be treated with a prize pack from both Phoenix Film Festival and Harkins Theatre. And not forgetting the cherry on top, a bicycle courtesy of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Program. The runners-up, in walking away from the contest, will each receive a Harkins Theatres prize pack, an entry to the 2025 Arizona Student Film Festival, and a safety gift bag.
