Students in grades 6-12 are invited to enter the City of Austin Watershed Protection Department’s 2025 flood safety video contest. Participants will create a 30-second public service announcement on the message “Turn around, don’t drown” when encountering flooded roads. Flood safety education is critical for protecting lives during heavy rains because Austin is in Flash Flood Alley. Entries will be judged on creativity, clarity and overall impact. Submissions are due by March 31 and are welcome in any language. Students may work individually or in teams. Winners will be announced at the start of Austin’s Flood Safety Awareness Week, April 21-26. Creators of the top 10 submissions will be awarded a $100 gift card, and their videos will premiere during a community event in April.
