 We’re so excited to announce the winners of our dating bill of rights video contest. Ashley Hoyle of Wichita, Kansas won first place for her very cool video (below). Second and third places went to groups of students in Buffalo, New York for their videos, We Have the Right and Don’t Become a Statistic.

We really appreciate the effort everyone took in creating in their videos. Also, much thanks to those who took the time to watch the videos and vote.

Today we posted the five finalists for our Dating Bill of Rights Video Contest. Please take the time to watch these videos and vote for your favorite. Voting will close on the 21st - and then we’ll announce our three winners.

We really appreciate the time and effort every entrant put into their video. Also, we want to say thanks to our wonderful celebrity judges (Tim Gunn, Jaslene Gonzalez, and Ann Shoket) for narrowing it down to five finalists for us.

loveisrespect, National Teen Dating Abuse Helpline is sponsoring a video contest in conjunction with the launch or our new (and improved!) website and PSA. Teens between the ages of 13-18 can enter until December 1st. A brief rundown of the rules and info:

Make your own video based on the theme of dating abuse and the Teen Dating Bill of Rights. This could be as simple as you reciting the Dating Bill of Rights, but any genre is ok: animation, documentary, music.

Don’t use copywrited music or images in your video.

Use our logo or mention loveisrespect, National Teen Dating Abuse Helpline in your video. *Logos can be downloaded here.

Judges include America’s Next Top Model Winner Jaslene Gonzalez and Project Runway’s Tim Gunn.

The Grand Prize winner gets a trip to NYC (with a parent).

Please read the complete, more boring version of the rules. We really don’t want to disqualify your video. Thanks.
