Submit Your Video

All video submissions are due by July 30, 2025 by 11:59 p.m. EST. Entries submitted after this date and time will not be accepted. 

One winner from each category will be selected. The plan is to notify winners by the end of August 2025, but that may be extended by the organizing agencies, if needed for unforeseen reasons.

All submitted videos will become public domain and property of the Corps of Engineers Natural Resources Education Foundation (The Corps Foundation) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for their use in promoting the Life Jackets Worn...Nobody Mourns Campaign. By submitting a video, and whether you’re the winner of the contest or not, you understand that we may also share your video or a portion of your video on the www.PleaseWearIt.com website, and other digital marketing platforms, including social media. Since it will be in public domain, it may also be used on other websites, and any outlet that runs PSAs, such as TV stations, movie theaters, and visitor centers, etc. We are hoping your video will help keep more people safe on our nation’s waterways!
