2023 Cardiac Arrest Survival Video Contest

The Citizen CPR Foundation (CCPRF) and the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation (SCAF) are jointly conducting a video contest as part of the Cardiac Arrest Survival Summit, November 29-December 2 in San Diego.

SCA Video Contest

Consider submitting a short video aimed at increasing awareness about Sudden Cardiac Arrest and the importance of quick bystander action—recognizing SCA, calling 9-1-1, providing CPR, and using automated external defibrillators (AEDs). Videos will be reviewed, scored, and ranked using a set of evaluation criteria that consider adherence to the theme, creativity, production quality, and overall impact. Entries are due October 20th.
