Illumina Records is looking for New Jersey teenagers under 18 to submit an original song that may be featured on a nationally released CD aimed at bringing awareness to the dangers of teen drinking.

The record company is partnering with Stop Drunk Driving Now, a nonprofit organization dedicated to putting an end to drunk driving accidents in every community. When people visit www.myspace.com/ksk01or http://profile.to/ kidssavingkids to hear the music selected for the CD, they will see a host of messages – designed by high school and college students – about the brutal costs of drunk driving.

“This is another weapon in our drunk driving prevention arsenal,” said Ronald Bellanti, president of Boston-based Illumina Records. “The earlier we start kids thinking about not getting behind the wheel drunk, the better.”

To submit one original song for consideration, send a MP3 or WAV file to ksksubmit@stopddnow.com. Also include your age, hometown and your parents’ contact information.

There is no charge for the performers to submit or appear on the release. In addition, music fans will be able to download the music at no charge.

The deadline to submit a song is Sunday, Feb. 28.

Campaign is Becca Levy, 13, of Washington D.C.

“Did you know that every 32 minutes, a person dies in a drunk driving accident in America?” Levy has said. “When I learned this, I realized that this was something I wanted to do something about – and the best way was through music. It’s a language that all young people speak.”
