The aim of the competition is to raise awareness about the conditions of the US roads, bridges, transit and rail systems, airports, ports and waterways. ARTBA’s intention with this competition is to heighten awareness of what needs to be done to improve transportation for future US economic growth and mobility. The competition also encourages students to suggest what the transportation systems might look like, and how they might be financed.

Students may enter the contest individually or as part of a team in one of two categories: elementary through high school; or college/graduate school. Elementary, middle, and high school teachers can help their classes with video production. The two winning students or teams—one for each category—will receive a $500 cash prize and have their videos previewed during ARTBA’s National Convention, held September 27-29 in Philadelphia.

Previous year winners have come from schools in states including Florida, Pennsylvania, Illinois, North Carolina and Virginia.
