About the Program

Category: Civic Education and Public Information (Best in Category)

Year: 2010

In an effort to help local non-profit agencies and other area governments, the Board of County Commissioners for St. Lucie County, Florida established an annual competitive video grant program. The program awards the top three scoring agencies submitting applications consisting of one 60-second video public service announcement (PSA), which will be produced by the St. Lucie County Office of Media Relations. Grant applications are scored based on the agency’s need, impact the PSA has on county residents, the creative aspect of the project and clearly defined goals of the proposed PSA. To apply, agencies must be a non-profit and/or government agency with its primary office located in St. Lucie County for at least 12 months. Even though the program is only a year old, numerous applicants have requested that the program be expanded to consist of more winners and increased entrants.
