✅ #YourVoteMatters High School Video Reel Contest
Monmouth County Clerk Christine Giordano Hanlon has officially launched the annual #YourVoteMatters High School Video Reel Contest, inviting local high school students across Monmouth County to harness their digital storytelling skills to champion the importance of civic engagement. Designed to empower the next generation of voters, the competition challenges teenagers—whether working independently or in small teams—to produce short, original social media video reels that articulate why voting matters and how participating in local, state, and federal elections shapes their communities. Submissions will be evaluated by county election officials for originality, clarity, and educational impact, with the top three entries earning gift card prizes and prominent publication across the County Clerk’s official social media platforms and regional voter-outreach initiatives ahead of Election Day. By meeting young creators on the platforms they use every day, the initiative provides a creative civic outlet that turns peer-to-peer digital communication into a catalyst for lifelong democratic participation.
