ABA Lights, Camera, Save Contest 2025

Honesdale, PA - Wayne Bank is accepting submissions for its Lights, Camera, Save! video contest. The contest, organized by the American Bankers Association Foundation, is a national competition that encourages teens to use video to communicate the value of sound money management and set their peers on a sound financial path.

"We are proud to partner with the ABA Foundation in the Lights, Camera, Save! contest because we believe in empowering the next generation with strong financial habits. This program gives teens a creative platform to share what they've learned about budgeting, saving, and money management, and in doing so, strengthens financial literacy across our community. We're excited to host the contest at our bank, support local student entries, and spotlight their voices on the national stage," said Jim Donnelly, President and CEO of Wayne Bank.

To participate, students (ages 13-18) must create a video, 30-seconds or less, on using money wisely and submit a link to the video along with a completed entry(Opens in a new window)form to the bank by Nov. 30, 2025. The contest is open to filmmakers of all experience levels.

Wayne Bank will host the first round of judging and select a winner to compete on the national level for one of three cash prizes, including $10,000 for first place, $5,000 for second place and $2,500 for third place. National contestants will face off head-to-head in the first round of national judging on ABA's Instagram page which will determine which videos advance to the second round of national judging.

Videos will be judged on their quality, message, content and the criteria set forth by the contest's official rules.
