starsThe Year in YouTube

Ahhh, 2008... What a year! In this season of "best of" lists and year-end retrospectives, I thought it would be a good time to pause, take a deep breath, and take a look back at some of our favorite videos from the last 365 days.

starsAnd the Stay Teen Contest Winners Are...

We are thrilled to announce the winners of the "What's Your Relationship Reality?" Video Mash-Up Contest, which was co-sponsored by The National Campaign's StayTeen.org and the Dibble Institute. We received some great video entries shot by teens from all around the country on webcams, cell phones, and video cameras, which they then remixed using our StayTV video mash-up tool.

We were very impressed with the quality of all of the submissions, but TWO of them stood out from the rest of the pack. The winners of the first ever Stay Teen video contest are:

Just the Way I Am (Submitted by Kelly B. from Midlothian, IL) - This video shows Kelly and her boyfriend supporting one another and cheering each other on as they both shave their heads to support the St. Baldrick's Foundation, an organization dedicated to raising awareness and funds for children's cancer research.
Relationship Reality (Submitted by Kevin P. from Jackson, TN) - This clever submission includes a montage of images that focus on different types of healthy relationships intermingled with words like respect, responsibility, rely, recognize, and more.

Congratulations to Kelly and Kevin on their outstanding videos and thanks to all of the teens who took the time to enter a video in the contest. For more information about the contest and to watch the winning videos, please visit our Contest Winner page at StayTeen.org.
