Microsoft and Boys & Girls Clubs of Bellevue are promoting video game safety through the Microsoft’s Get Game Smart Video Contest. Parents and their teens are asked to submit a brief video highlighting ways their family approaches responsible digital lifestyle, including house rules related to video gaming.

The Get Game Smart Video Contest is a search for parents and teens to serve as Get Game Smart Ambassadors - a new set of messengers that will help educate their peers on making smart media choices.

Videos can be submitted for entry through March 6. Winning entries will receive prizes like an Xbox 360, Zune, Xbox LIVE subscription, video games, $1,000 cash and more. They will also become Get Game Smart Ambassadors and join Microsoft and other voices in a brand-new forum for maintaining a dialogue about gaming safety.
