    logo_MATForceVerde Valley AZ (April 22, 2013) – MATFORCE announces the results of its “My Voice Makes a Difference” Video Contest. The annual contest is designed to give youth in Yavapai County the opportunity to express their voices and opinions in order to make a positive effect on reducing the abuse of drugs and alcohol.

    Sheila Polk, MATFORCE Co-Chair and Yavapai County Attorney, said “Each video submitted showed great creativity and commentary on the adverse effects of drug and alcohol abuse. I heartily commend each youth who took the time to speak out on this important health topic.” The County Attorney’s office and CableOne Advertising assisted in the judging.

    Winners were selected in two age categories: middle school and high school. Winners received cash prizes of $300 for first place, $200 for second place, $100 for third place and $25 for honorable mention.

    In the middle school category, first place was awarded to Grace Holverson and Hannah Parker of West Sedona Middle School. Their video is titled “Hugs Instead of Drugs” and depicts teens speaking their minds about drug and alcohol abuse. Second place was awarded to Jasmine Jeffries of Glassford Hill Middle School in Prescott Valley for her video titled “Be Strong. Be Smart.” Third place was won by Frida Mendoza, Martin Contreras, Aynessa Watson, Josh Hoelting, Jaciel Meza, Victor Anaya and Shelby Ortega of Cottonwood Middle School with a video titled “Drinking and Driving.”
