They are presenting a contest to all videographers (those in school or independent) who can make a 30-second PSA about cyber-bullying.

If only I had the time, I’d like to enter because there is a lineup of great prizes for first place. (Maybe there is still time)

In either case (time or no time), cyber-bullying is a problem that can and will exist as long as people psychologically feel “safe” behind a computer screen, and can justify threatening or otherwise defaming people that they would otherwise not do in person.

This is something we should become aware of in educational environments where students and learners are entitled to feel safe and encouraged to learn.

Has anyone had issues or experience with this?
