Student Video Contest

In partnership with Georgia’s Vision for Public Education, GSBA sponsors a student video contest for public high school students all over the state. Students create a short, creative video that covers a theme. The top three winners are invited to our Annual Conference in Atlanta in December and win money that is used for their school’s digital/video program.

Eligibility:

• The contest is open to GSBA member district high schools.

Criteria:

• Videos will be judged on how well they address the year’s chosen topic, as well as the quality of the production and the creativity of the video.
• The video should be between 30 seconds – 1 minute long.
• No professional assistance can be provided to produce the video.
• The format of the video is up to the students (commercial, news broadcast, music video, etc.)

We look forward each year to viewing the high-quality work of our public high school students. Last year, we had 50 verified entries for our contest.

Contest Opens:

• September 6, 2022

Deadline for submission:

• October 14, 2022

The online entry, video upload and all paperwork must be received by the deadline.

Update for 2022 – we are using a new system, Award Force, for the Student Video Contest entry.

Entry Highlights:

• Only one video per school campus may be entered.
• A sponsoring faculty member must be designated.
• New for 2022: we will be using Award Force, an online platform, for the Student Video Contest submissions. Schools entry, videos and paperwork must all be submitted through this platform.

• The top three videos and up to three honorable mention videos, as determined by the judges, will be shown during the awards session at the 2021 GSBA /GSSA Annual Conference.
• First place ($1,000), second place ($500), and third place ($250) winners will be announced during the awards ceremony and the prize money will go towards the school’s fine arts or video production program.
