I'm sure that I'll see many of them in June as we reenter the interview process."

Host Ray Tatar will share the three videos and introduce viewers to their makers. You'll also hear from Franklin High School video teacher Brad Clark who helped Access Sacramento coordinate the competition.

1st Place Winner: Max Esipciuc of Center High School won first place and a $100 top prize for his public service announcement supporting WEAVE (Women Escaping A Violent Environment).
2nd Place Winner: Second place went to Jamie Campos of Franklin High School for his public service announcement about the Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District's "Fight the Bite Campaign."
