Students from Saint Monica Preparatory have clinched the Best PSA for Street Racing Kills category in the 2024/2025 Streets, Art, and SAFE Competition, delivering a powerful message about the dangers of street racing.
The winning public service announcement (PSA), titled “Not Worth It,” was highlighted in a post on X by @LADOTofficial and is available for viewing on YouTube.
The PSA, produced under the guidance of the non-profit Streets Are For Everyone (SAFE), aims to reduce traffic fatalities to zero by empowering high school students to advocate for street safety through artistic expression. In Los Angeles, where traffic collisions are the leading cause of death for youth aged 4-14, according to the non-profit, the program fosters creative storytelling to educate and engage young people while honing their film and visual arts skills.
SAFE emphasizes strict safety protocols, with Rule 5 of the competition mandating compliance with local laws and prohibiting any endangerment during production. The organization ensures no students, parents, teachers, or participants are harmed, disqualifying any PSA that violates this standard.
