RH Reality Check is sponsoring Fresh Focus: a sex ed digital education contest. Entrants can make videos either 1) describing their sex education experiences or 2) describing how they would redesign sex ed curricula for the future. Prizes for winners include a $3,500 scholarship, $1,000 cash and a Nintendo Wii or other gadgets. The contest deadline is Dec. 31, 2007.

Next week, I’ll post an entry about how people interested in sex education communicate with others with similar interests, as well as how they get information about breaking news in sex education. I think this contest is an interesting way to try to engage people who are interested in this topic. The call-for-entries poses this question: “Why is Sex So Interesting and Sex Ed So Boring?” I think this also raises the issue of why sex education might not always get the visibility it deserves and how to better engage people in this topic. I think RH Reality Check is hoping this is one way to raise awareness and visibility for this topic. What do you think? What other tactics would you try to get people involved in this issue?
