“Be the Change! Share the Story!” School Video Contest
About a week ago, I came across this new contest for students across the US and Canada called “Be the Change! Share the Story!” School Video Contest.
Quantum Shift TV has invited students from grades one through twelve to work on a social or environmental project of their choice and document it in two videos that they will upload to the web. The first video (which introduces the project) is due by December 15th, 2007 and the second video (which explains the project’s excursion and results) is due March 31st, 2008. The contest also incorporates puzzles that the students must complete and judging is based on viewer ratings, number of views on the videos and the completed puzzles. There are a bunch of nifty prizes including a grand prize of $50,000.00 for the winning students’ school.
I think this contest is a great idea. It’s a way to get students more involved within their local communities and it helps students to be more creative and explore new media outlets.
