The 2010 Keep Drama off the Roads competition was a great success with a huge volume of entries having been received.

We really enjoyed reading through these and found it very hard to pick a winner. Primarily the judges were looking for an entry that met the brief and one which we felt would appeal to the younger audience, who are more at risk on the roads.

After much consideration we are delighted to announce that the winner of the Keep Drama off the Roads competition for 2010 is:

Richard Lahart with his film idea entitled Weapon of Choice.

Richard will receive the grand prize of €3,000 and over the next few months he will be involved in the process of working with professional producers and directors to make his film idea into a reality.

The runners-up, who will each receive €500 are:

• P J O'Donoghue - "The Thrill of Speed"
• Claire Chambers -"Dash your Speed, not your Life"
• Mark Richie - "Game Over"
