New Contest Encourages Teens to Get Creative & Draw Their Digital Line

That’s Not Cool is currently sponsoring a “Callout Card” Contest that asks students to create an original design that calls out what they think is cool, or not cool, in a relationship.

Last year, in partnership with the Department of Justice’s Office on Violence Against Women and the Advertising Council, the Family Violence Prevention Fund (FVPF) developed That’s Not Cool, a national public service advertising campaign designed to help teens recognize digital dating abuse and take steps to prevent it. That’s Not Cool uses digital examples of control, pressure and threats online and by cell phone to encourage teens to draw their own line about what is, or is not, acceptable relationship behavior.
Now the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) is joining the FVPF for a “Callout Card” Contest, designed to engage even more youth in this campaign. Callout Cards are e-cards with a message about what’s okay, or not, in a relationship. The contest invites teens to create new Callout Cards that can be used to raise awareness of teen dating abuse to win cool prizes.

Prizes include:

  • 1 Grand Prize: An all‐expenses‐paid trip to Washington, DC to attend the NFL PLAYERS Gala to meet and hang with pro-football players
  • 4 Runners‐Up: Autographed NFL Memorabilia, like a jersey or helmet
  • 10 Honorable Mentions: That’s Not Cool T‐Shirt
