C-Span Announces StudentCam 2012

C-Span is sponsoring a competition geared towards increasing both student awareness of government as well as student involvement in video production.  The program allows students to compete for scholarships ranging from $250 to $5000 while also earning money for their respective schools at the same time.  Awards will be presented to 75 different students.

This year's theme is, “The Constitution and You: Select any provision of the U.S. Constitution and create a video illustrating why it’s important to you.”  Your documentary may focus on any section of the Preamble, Articles, or Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.

The program is open to all students in grades 6-12.  Students are also allowed to participate in teams of up to 3 individuals.  Student documentaries must be between 5-8 minutes long and contain credits or a works cited list.

This is an excellent opportunity for Warren County students.  WCHS now has the camera and technology available to help any student interested to produce an award winning video.  Any student who is interested in the program is encouraged to see Mr. Swann.  The deadline for entry is January 20, 2012.  More information can be found at http://www.studentcam.org/.
