At Capital Health, we believe students have the power to inspire one another to live healthier, happier lives. That’s why we launched the Capital Healthy Students PSA Video Contest—an initiative where middle school students produce short public service announcements (PSAs) to share messages of preventative health and wellness with their peers.
Over the years, this contest has grown into a tradition of student leadership, creativity, and impact. Each campaign addresses a timely issue facing young kids today, encouraging students to use their own voices to drive positive change in their schools and communities.
Let’s Clear the Air: The Truth About Vaping
Capital Healthy Students is back for the 2026–2027 school year!
This year’s campaign challenges middle school students to investigate the facts about vaping, separate myth from reality, and turn what they learn into a creative, one-minute public service announcement designed to educate their peers. Students have the chance to put their creativity and voices to work while competing for $10,000 in awards for their school communities.
The deadline for finalist submissions is May 7, 2027.
