Misunderstandings may result in entry disqualification. The purpose of this festival is to recognize original student work. Students are strongly encouraged to create their own story and to produce their own visuals and their own audio to tell their story. It is preferred that the script, music, sound effects, photography, art work, video footage, computer graphics, animation, etc., all be student produced. Faculty and parent guidance and instruction are acceptable, but planning, production, and selection of subject matter and operation of equipment must be student work.
Certification is part of the entry form.
Any visual or audio material which is not student produced must adhere to the Fair Use Guidelines for Educational Multimedia. The student must give credit to the producer of the work. A website entry may be submitted either on a videotape as specified or on a standard PC formatted Floppy disk or on a zip disk. Each such entry must be on a separate video tape. Entries must be postmarked by January 12, 2001.
