>From the site: ABOUT THE COMPETITION (After you read about the competition, read our ideas for GETTING STARTED.) http://www.studentcam.org/gettingstarted.asp Rules: http://www.studentcam.org/rules.asp WHAT IS "C-SPAN StudentCam"? C-SPAN StudentCam is an annual documentary competition that encourages students to think seriously about issues that affect our communities and our nation. C-SPAN StudentCam invites students to identify a current political topic of interest and produce a short (up to ten minute) video documentary which creatively explores an issue while integrating C-SPAN programming. WHAT CONTENT SHOULD MY VIDEO INCLUDE? Video documentaries may include different elements-i.e. straight documentary, interviews, entertainment, promotional, news report, magazine style, or public service, but must also include C-SPAN programming. Limited use of copyrighted material would be permitted in an entry so long as it is a lawful or so-called "fair" use, and so long as such use does not overwhelm the contribution of the student(s). In addition to creatively exploring a current political topic of interest, successful entries will also follow C-SPAN's editorial principles by giving appropriate weight to opposing views of the chosen topic. The videos in this competition must also incorporate clips of C-SPAN programming. <snip> WHAT ARE THE PRIZES? Multiple cash prizes of $250, $500, $750, and $1,000, will be awarded in both middle and high school categories; one Grand Prize of $3,000 will be awarded to the best overall entry.
