Make a statement. Win a
scholarship. Save a life.
Project Yellow Light is a scholarship competition designed to bring about change.
People know distracted driving is dangerous, but they do it anyway. As an applicant you have one clear mission: create a PSA to encourage your friends to avoid distracted driving, specifically using your phone while driving. Whether it’s sending a text, commenting on a photo, or messaging your friends in your favorite app, it’s never ok to drive distracted. Together, we can spread the word and help keep our roads safer.
We are excited to announce the expansion of our scholarship to include college-age youth who are gaining skills and experience through alternative paths – such as trade and vocational trainings, bootcamps and other credentialing programs. The same parameters will apply (students between the ages of 14-25). For those interested, please apply under the “college” level.
Submissions Closed
Thank you for all of those who submitted work to Project Yellow Light. We are so proud of all of you for doing your part to help save lives. Winners will be announced in or around late June. Stay tuned and join us again next year when the competition opens back up on Oct 31.
