Enter the Lights, Camera, Save! Video Contest

What is Lights, Camera, Save!, anyway?

ABA Foundation and bankers across the country support financial education and want to empower teens to educate their peers about the value of good money habits. So, we created an annual contest that runs through your local bank.

When the contest kicks off, Students between 13 and 18 years of age can send a 30-second self-made video to their host bank. Banks then choose a winner to submit to the national contest for a chance to win one of three cash prizes.

Ideas for Video Topics

• Automatic Savings
• Budgeting
• Credit Score
• Debt
• Direct Deposit
• Emergency Fund
• Paying for College
• Protecting Your Identity
• Retirement

Want to grow your bank account?

Put your creativity to the test and enter to win! Four prizes are up for grabs: $1,000, $3,000 and the grand prize of $5,000 to fund your savings goal!
