Public Service Announcement (PSA) Challenge Winning Videos
The PSA Challenge, launched in November 2010 as part of the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education, called on individuals, non-profit organizations and corporations to create and submit short video PSAs encouraging their fellow citizens to be safe and secure online.

The three winning PSAs promote awareness among teens, young adults and parents on how to protect against cyber bullying, cyber predators, and other criminal activity online.
