4/10/14 - A local high school senior is a finalist in a nationwide video contest that brings awareness to underage drinking. Howell High School senior Ethan Armstrong is one of 60 finalists named in the 2014 Courageous Persuaders video contest. It asks high school students to create a 30-second commercial that warns middle school students about the dangers of underage drinking. Armstrongâs video is titled âDecisionsâ and his inspiration came from personal experiences, saying he reflected on some past decisions and how they affected others. Armstrong said the hardest part about creating the commercial was trying to get the entire message into such a short video and itâs exciting to make it this far in the competition. Winners of the contest will be announced in May at the Be Courageous Awards Ceremony. The grand prize winner will received a $3,000 scholarship and have their commercial broadcast on television. A fan favorite award will also be presented at the ceremony to the video that receives the most "likes" on YouTube by 5pm on Wednesday, April 30th. Armstrongâs video is also available through the link below. (JM)
