,Talk BackState’s Youth Disproportionately Affected by Tobacco Use
ALBUQUERQUE—The New Mexico Media Literacy Project announces a Call for Entries for its fourth annual Talk Back to Big Tobacco! Script and Storyboard Contest. The contest is seeking scripts written by New Mexico youth for 30-second radio and television commercials aimed at preventing tobacco use by children and teens.
With a chance to win $500 cash, the contest allows middle and high school students to use their creative voices to tell the deadly truth about tobacco. Scripts can focus on the dangers of smoking, the tobacco industry’s deceptive marketing tactics, or why so many young people choose to live tobacco-free lives.
In New Mexico, smoking rates are higher among high school students (26%) than among adults (21%).
“We’re especially interested in scripts aimed at youth from low-income households and rural communities, Native American youth, LGBT youth, and youth with disabilities,” says Windy Gay, the contest director. “These young people are disproportionately affected by tobacco use in New Mexico.”
Gay points out that over 30% of Native American youth in the state use commercial tobacco. “And among youth from low-income families, smoking rates climb to about 40%”.
Contest rules allow New Mexico residents between the ages of 12 and 18 to participate. Entries must be postmarked by December 4, 2009.
A panel of media and tobacco prevention experts will select eight contest winners—four TV storyboards and four radio scripts. In addition to the $500 cash prizes, winners have a chance to win $2,500 if their ad is chosen for statewide radio or TV broadcast.
The winning radio scripts will be produced at KUNM-FM, and the winning TV storyboards will be produced at Albuquerque Community Access Channel 27. The completed ads will premiere at the Oscar-style Fame & Shame Awards in Albuquerque on May 8, 2010.
The Talk Back to Big Tobacco! Script and Storyboard Contest is sponsored by the New Mexico Media Literacy Project, and funded by the New Mexico Department of Health’s Tobacco Use Prevention and Control (TUPAC) Program.

In his June presentation to SWW, internationally accredited speaker and facilitator Ron Chapman (a former long-time Albuquerque resident and radio host at KUNM-FM), explored writer's inner obstructions to success. Now in "The Write Answers" he'll offer his unique expertise in a facilitated trouble shooting session that not only provides information on the challenges writers' face both in the writing process and in the publishing industry, but provides interactive opportunities for each participant to tackle their personal barriers to success.
Participants should bring several questions about what they perceive to be obstacles or their "stuckness," and explore what they perceive as a limitation or obstacle and Ron will help you see the opportunity within. From his own journey as a writer and author (and through the scores of interviews he conducted with New York Times best-selling and emerging local authors on KUNM-FM) and by working with small presses and trying to get name and book recognition, Ron knows where you've been and how to move beyond limited thinking.
An internationally recognized and accredited speaker and consultant, Ron Chapman nurtures creative thought and action while facilitating personal and professional growth and organization and leadership development, assisting clients in deepening their awareness, changing their perceptions, and cultivating insight and understanding to allow any challenge or problem to be overcome. A self-described full-time, all-time student of human, organizational, and cultural dynamics, Chapman, through his company, Magnetic North LLC, travels throughout the United States, Europe and recently, Zimbabwe, Africa, delivering powerful keynote addresses and conducting Seeing True seminars and workshops. Author of Seeing True: Ninety Contemplations in Ninety Days, What a Wonderful World and the Seeing True series of audio discs "The Way of Success in Leadership and "The Way of Spirit," Chapman is also a national award-winning social radio commentator.
