Students and faculty involved in drama, video or web projects, or those who simply have a knack for creating videos that grab students—may be interested in a new film contest sponsored by the Washington Higher Education Coordinating Board (HECB).

The HECB is looking for examples of videos that encourage students to think early about college and to explore financial-assistance programs the state offers. Winners will receive small prizes and official recognition, including postings on the State of Washington’s official YouTube site and screenings at the Washington State School Directors’ Association’s annual conference in November.

Entries must be the work of one or more students enrolled in grades 7-12 of a Washington public or private school during the 2008-09 or 2009-10 school year. Entry approval by a school principal or designee is required. The deadline is Oct. 19, 2009.

Additional rules, entry forms and other information can be found on the HECB website at http://www.hecb.wa.gov/Paying/waaidprgm/documents/VideoContest.asp

Student Video Contest on the Forms of Energy

2009-03-05T11:01:00.000-08:00

Student Video Contest on the Forms of Energy

Westinghouse Electric Company, through its N-Vision Program, encourages education in science, technology and mathematics. One way that we do this is through our video contest on the forms of energy.

Students in middle and high schools are encouraged to prepare a three to seven minute video (VHS or DVD) on positive aspects of the various forms of energy, including nuclear energy. The purpose of the video contest is to enhance students' researching and fact-finding skills, and to educate them on the various forms of energy that we use today. Students are encouraged to be creative in their entries, yet informative. The video can be staged as a short play, commercial, news broadcast, talk show, music video, documentary, etc.

The winning videos in each category (middle and high school categories) will receive the following: the school science department will receive $3,000 to be put towards its science department needs; and each student who took part in assisting with the video will receive $100 to put towards school supplies.
