The Georgia School Boards Association is proud to announce the winners of this year’s Student Video Contest!
In partnership with the Georgia Vision Project’s Spark campaign; GSBA sponsors a student video contest for public high school students all over the state. This year’s theme was “Student life during the Pandemic: As a student, how has your life changed as a result of the pandemic?”
The GSBA Awards committee, who critiqued the videos on how well they addressed the topic, as well as the quality of the production and the creativity of the video, did the judging. The videos were all one minute or less. No professional assistance was provided to produce the video. The format of the video was left up to the students (commercial, news broadcast, music video, etc.) There were 51 verified videos submitted for the contest this year.
The top three videos will be shown during the Awards Session at the GSBA/GSSA Virtual Annual Conference on December 4, 2020. The first place prize is $1,000, second place is $500 and third place is $250. The prize money will go towards the high school’s fine arts or video production program. The top three videos and the three honorable mention videos, as determined by the judges, are as follows:
