The American Bankers Association Foundation is hosting a social media contest to allow viewers nationwide to vote for their favorite Lights, Camera, Save! video entry.
Lights, Camera, Save! is an annual video contest that encourages teen participants to produce a short film that communicates the importance of sound money management. This year, 131 banks hosted 149 contests in 48 states.
The ‘Savers’ Choice’ social media contest features the top five finalists and will take place on ABA’s Facebook page through noon on Wed., Feb. 20. The video-producer with the most votes will receive a GoPro camera to encourage future film making.

“These creative teens have a terrific message about the importance of sound financial choices that they want to share,” said Corey Carlisle, executive director of the ABA Foundation. “We want to help them do so by encouraging everyone to vote, as well as to like, share and repost their favorite video so all can join in the fun.”
The winner of the “Savers’ Choice” will also be in the running for Lights, Camera, Save! cash prizes up to $5,000, plus a scholarship for a teacher at their school to attend the 2019 Jump$tart National Educator Conference. Lights, Camera, Save! winners are named by a panel of expert judges.
