Acuity announced the winners of its “Kidsxplain Insurance” video contest. The contest invited children ages 5-19 to explain in their own way what insurance is and why people need it.

 

“Insurance is a topic most kids probably don’t think about,” said Acuity President and CEO Ben Salzmann. “We wanted to provide the opportunity for children to tell us what they thought about insurance and to have fun doing it.”

 

Submitted videos were up to a minute in length and could address any question related to auto or home insurance. Prizes included $250 for first-place winners, $100 for second-place winners, and $25 for judges’ choice awards. Winners were selected in three age categories:

 

  • Ages 5-10 winners: Justus Teagarden (1st place) and Ava Archer (2nd place)
  • Ages 11-14 winner: Stephanie Sithu (1st place) and Wylie Teagarden (2nd place)
  • Ages 15-19 winner: Jackson Kuja (1st place) and Anthony Ducharme (2nd place)
  • Judges’ choice winners:  Dayvn Chambers and Marshfield Insurance Agency
