Are You a Filmmaker? Check Out This Documentary Contest

If you’re a budding filmmaker, this is for you! C-SPAN, the cable TV channel that features coverage of politics in Washington, D.C., has launched the C-SPAN StudentCam Competition. The competition encourages students to think seriously about issues that affect our communities and our nation and produce a short video documentary that creatively explores a current political topic of interest. Your video has to incorporate some content from C-SPAN, which you can download from the website.

The competition is open to middle school and high school students, and you can submit an entry as an individual or as a team of up to 3 students.

There will be more than 90 prizes awarded in the competition, including a grand price of $5,000 and 65 honorable mentions, each worth $250. If your documentary wins, it may air on C-SPAN as well.

Find out more and watch a video about the competition by visiting the StudentCam website.

    Dear Debbie,

    I recently discovered your blog while surfing the net and love it! In fact, I recently listed it in a post ” 111 Women Bloggers – List Reads Like a Who’s Who!” on one of my blogs Virtual Woman’s Day (http://www.virtualwomansday.com).
    Wishing you all the best and continued success.
