Since October of 2018, FOX61 in efforts with the Governor's Prevention Partnership has worked with local youth on creating educational and effective PSA's surrounding the opioid crisis we face today. With the support of the local middle and high schools, as well as universities from around the state, we launched the Be An RXpert Contest that would award the top three winners:
First place: $2,500
Second place: $1,500
Third place: $500
With a total of 56 entries, we are proud to bring you our Be An RXpert winners:
"Don't be Part of the Next 72,000"
"Be the Change"
"Only 5 Days"
