Show us Your Videos

KidsCast is looking for your videos on healthy topics. There are no requirements for length or subject matter as long as it's about being a healthy kid.  If you're 12 or older you can also enter Missouri's Youth Adult Alliance (MYAA) PSA contest.  They do have some rules, but they also have cool prizes.  If you make a video for MYAA be sure to send it to us too. Here's some information about MYAA's contest:

Want to see your face on MTV, Discovery and The CW?

Missouri’s Youth/Adult Alliance, MYAA, wants to hear your story! There are a lot of great things we can say about your generation, but we want to hear it from you.

73% of Missouri youth report having NOT drank alcohol in a given month. Tell us why your generation is great and how this is connected to the fact that most Missouri youth aren’t drinking alcohol.

MYAA wants you and a few of your friends to make a PSA (public service announcement) that shows that teens who don’t drink are in the majority.
