Lights, Camera, Save!

A video contest that engages teens in educating themselves and their peers about the value of saving and using money wisely.

Lights, Camera, Save! Video Contest

The Lights, Camera, Save! video contest, sponsored by Visa®, is a call for teens to use their imagination to educate themselves and their peers about the value of building sound financial habits before adulthood. Videos can talk about any money management topics from paying for college, to saving through auto deposits, protecting your identity and knowing your credit score. The sky is the limit!  

Three national prizes are up for grabs, with a grand prize of $10,000! Winning videos will be posted on YouTube and shared nationwide to help spread the importance of financial skills for teens.
