The Florida League of Cities 2018 Youth Council Video Competition is a statewide contest that asked youth councils to create a 1-to-5 minute video to promote what makes their city great.  The competition asked the youth councils to raise public awareness about their municipality’s unique characteristics or municipal services.  The top five projects across the state were selected as winners, including the City of Fort Myers’ Teen Advisory Council.  The Teen Advisory Council showcased several aspects of Fort Myers including its historical sites, arts & culture, parks and recreation, and city services.  The Teen Advisory Council will be presented with a trophy and a monetary award.  The theme was “Fort Myers – The Place to  Be!”
