Connect Ohio YouTube video PSA contest winners receive iPads


Earlier this year, the Every Citizen Online (ECO) program went viral with the launch of a YouTube video contest. The contest period ended March 22 and nearly 3-dozen video public service announcement (PSA) entries were received from throughout the state. Winning videos were chosen based on their messaging and demonstration of the usefulness of the Internet to the daily lives of Ohioans in an effort to help raise awareness of the statewide Every Citizen Online program. Winners and Honorable Mention awardees were announced April 5. The creators of the two winning videos were presented with Apple iPads and many of those involved in the top 4 videos were invited to be actors in the production of Connect Ohio’s newest PSAs, which will air on TV and radio stations beginning in July.
Winning Awardees:
             Jorge Morera, Cleveland Heights
