Today is the day I have anxiously been awaiting… Entries for the Just Drive! Canada contest are due. I have been working with an enthusiastic group of Grade 10 students in the creation of advertisements that warn against the dangers of distracted driving. Most students created images, a few groups created videos, and one brave young lady wrote and performed her own song. Each entry had to be reviewed by the admissions committee, and if accepted will be placed on the website for the voting phase. The voting phase takes place from November 14th- December 13th, and during that time students are encouraged to use social media and other forms of communication to gather votes for their advertisements. The top 10 advertisements after the voting phase move on to the judging phase where judges will determine the top finisher and the runner-up. The Just Drive! contest is active on social media, and the home page suggests that you follow them on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, You Tube, and the Just Drive Canada blog.

Please visit Just Drive! and vote for our work. Unfortunately, there is not a really time efficient method of voting, only to scroll through and vote for any of our William Derby School entries.
