Focus on the Road

The Suburban Collection, Michigan's largest auto dealer, is dedicated to promoting safe driving and continuing its "Focus on the Road" contest with select Metro Detroit area high schools.

For the contest, we ask local high school students to create a video that will educate their peers on the dangers of distracted driving in hopes of minimizing this growing epidemic. Currently, eligible schools are located in Birmingham, Ferndale, Farmington/Farmington Hills, Novi, Troy, and Waterford.

Winners will be awarded as followed:

• 1st Place - $2,500 

• 2nd Place - $1,500 

• 3rd Place - $1,000 

These three prizes will be awarded based on the top videos from all participating schools and school districts.

The school with the most student participation, based on the number of student videos submitted, will earn $1000 charitable donation to their respective school.

Contest Start Date: Monday, September 16, 2019

Videos Due by: Wednesday, November 27, 2019 

Winners Announced: Monday, January 6, 2020
