Create a video, animation, or combine media.
Description
Students may enter one project per subcategory but can submit additional projects as part of a group. However, group members must differ for each project. You may use an iPad, computer, computer programs, or video camera, as long as the finished product may be displayed on screen. Programs must also have graphics or titles at the beginning and end of the show. Programs may be any length but only the first ten minutes will be judged.
Subcategories
Procedures
All entries, from conception to final product, must be written, directed, and produced by the students entering the production. However, there is no age limit on the actors or performers who appear in the production. Each entry must have a title, and credits presented in the beginning or ending graphics including acknowledgement of any copyrighted material.
Videos can be uploaded directly into the online submission form by clicking on the upload button and choosing the project saved on your device. If your work is saved on YouTube, Vimeo, or Office 365 Stream, it can be submitted by copying and pasting a link into the online entry form instead of using the upload button on the online submission form.
