AmeriServ Bank Announces Lights, Camera, Save! Winners

Johnstown, PA (NASDAQ: ASRV) - AmeriServ Bank has announced the local winners of the 2025 Lights, Camera, Save! teen video contest, held annually by the American Bankers Association Foundation. The first-place winner is Wyland Hofer, a student at Cambria Heights High School. Second place was awarded to Fiona Stuart and third place was awarded to Jadyn Oswalt, both students at Greater Johnstown High School. Each winner will receive a monetary award from AmeriServ Bank, while the first-place entry will also move on to the national contest and compete against videos submitted by students from around the country. Winners were chosen and notified on December 2, 2024.

The ABA Foundation hosts and judges the national contest, maintains the official rules, and serves as banks' point of contact during local contests.
