Last month, the City of Eugene launched a new "Stop the Spread" campaign effort--a COVID-19 messaging contest geared toward young adults, aged 14 to 30 years old. This just announced: the contest deadline has been extended with a new deadline for submissions: 11:59 p.m. Wednesday, November 11, 2020.
Public Health officials say nearly 70% of all COVID-19 cases in Lane County have been in the 14 to 30 year old age group. The City of Eugene is hoping to change that with a messaging contest aimed toward the younger demographic.
Stop the Spread campaign is calling on creative young adults to enter the contest using visual graphics or a 30-second video that encourages peers to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Stephanie Scafa is with the City of Eugene. She said the content should creatively focus on the four Ws:
“Wearing a face covering, watching your distance, washing your hands and waiting it out (if you are sick.)”
Scafa said content may be produced in English or Spanish. The deadline to submit is now 11:59 on Wednesday, November 11th. The public will get a chance to vote on their favorite entries. Then a panel of judges will pick a winner in 7 categories. Each winner receives a $500 prize.
