The winners of the Help the Hinkson Restoration Project's public service announcement (PSA) competition will be revealed Thursday April 29, 2010 at 6 p.m. in the Boone County Commission Chambers, 801 E. Walnut, Columbia, Mo. 65201.

The first place winners in each category will receive $500.00, while second place winners in each category will receive $250.00. Additionally, the videos will be aired on television, at local movie theaters and on educational Web sites. They will also be shown in kiosks during educational events.

In January, Boone County residents and students were invited to create public service announcements to educate the public on stormwater and water pollution issues. There were two contest categories offered. The first, a 30 second or less PSA, received four entries. The second, a one to three minute short film PSA, received three entries.
