WASHINGTON (NNS) -- Sailors still have time to take part in the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Public Service Announcement (PSA) video contest, officials said April 9.

Videos should focus on one of the four Sexual Assault Awareness lines of efforts - Education and awareness; prevention and intervention; victim advocacy and resiliency; or investigation.

The winning submission will be broadcast on Direct-to-Sailor Television and provided to the American Forces Network and Pentagon channel. Contest rules and procedures are posted at www.sapr.navy.mil.
