 The first US Free the BowlTM Video Contest!
Young activist filmmakers from 23 different states have submitted 62 videos to the Free the BowlTM contest.
Subjects of the videos look at alcohol-related harms through teen eyes. They reflect loss of life, loss of good health, loss of friendship, loss of opportunity and loss of innocence. Some are sad, some are humorous. Yet all of them place the blame where it is due and demand that influential alcohol advertising in a most inappropriate place, the so-called "family friendly" Super Bowl, must end.
Be part of the experience. Visit www.freethebowl.com to enjoy not only the three prizewinners' work, but 59 other entertaining entries as well.

From an early age, youth learn that drinking alcohol is a way to act older, to celebrate, and to relax. Teenagers get bombarded with messages about drinking from many sources-including advertising.
They may know by now that drinking and driving can kill, but many of alcohol's other impacts on young people are less well known. There are many youth programs that empower teens to reject the alcohol industry's marketing messages and prevent alcohol problems. We have tools to help youth activists and the adults who are working with youth. Working together, teenagers and their adult allies can make a difference.
Working with Youth
To effectively mobilize young people, adults and youth each need to identify successful ways of working in partnership with each other.
