DHHS and DOE invite Maine youth ages 5 to 17 to submit 30-second videos that they believe will encourage other children, along with their parents, to get a COVID-19 vaccine. This could include, for example, information on the vaccine’s safety and efficacy or the impact of not getting vaccinated.

Children can produce the video submissions on their own or as part of a school activity. Participation is limited to Maine residents. Winners will need to have a consent form signed by a parent or guardian. The deadline for submission is 6pm on November 22.
