Students
http://www.c-span.org/classroom/campaigncam/

**$50,000 in prizes**Winning videos air on the C-SPAN Networks**Deadline May

2004 is an election year--a time when people think seriously about issues
that affect our communities and our nation. C-SPAN's CAMPAIGN CAM is a
competition inviting students to IDENTIFY AN ISSUE of interest and to then
produce a video that creatively explores and persuasively presents a point
of view on that topic.

Student videos may take any form--i.e. straight documentary, interviews,
entertainment, promotional, news report, magazine style, or public service.
Videos may not include copyrighted material, but may include clips of
C-SPAN-produced programming. In addition to expressing an opinion on a
campaign issue, SUCCESSFUL ENTRIES will also follow C-SPAN's principles of
"editorial balance" and "fairness" by including at least one other point of
view on the chosen topic.
