2007 progresses with professional production of winning media messages created by local students.
The winners of the 2007 Clear Minds Clear Messages media campaign were

Since that time, the students have been working with local professionals to professional produce their entires into posters,
billboards, radio announcements and television PSAs! The computer graphic designer at Warne/McKenna Advertising has
worked with the graphic illustration winners - the first step of production! Lamar Outdoor Advertising has now ordered
the billboard paper, and winning billboard designs will go up around the city on September 14, 2007. 93Q Radio
has met with the students that won the radio category in their recording studio. The radio PSAs will be played
by local stations beginning mid-September. Time Warner Cable has worked with students to professionally
