Hey kids--Time Warner Cable invites you to submit entries for the
“Time Warner Cable Young Director’s Cut” Contest

For full contest rules,  download "Young Directors Cut" Printable Entry Form

Each year the Austin division of Time Warner Cable runs thousands of 30-second public service announcements (PSAs) on more than 40 different cable networks, such as Nickelodeon and News 8 Austin. Similar to commercials, these PSAs highlight non-profit organizations like the Girl Scouts of America or the Capital Area Food Bank.

Now Time Warner Cable is giving students a chance to write their own PSA highlighting their school, teacher or community organization. The winning competitors will have the opportunity to work with professional Time Warner Cable production staff with state-of-the-art facilities to produce their PSA. The final videos will be run on Time Warner Cable networks.
