2008 THEME: Patriotic

April 4, 2008 entry deadline.

Entries collected through Utah high schools.

May 1, 2008 event

The Freedom Festival Multimedia contest has joined with the Utah High School Film and Video contest. We are inviting students to submit a patriotic PSA of 60 seconds. This is an additional category in the Utah High School Film Contest. Monetary prizes will be awarded in this category.

Purpose: The Freedom Festival encourages students to educate themselves about the principles required to establish and maintain freedom, examples of people obtaining and preserving freedom, and the opportunities and challenges it entails.

Each entry must adhere to the following guidelines:

Media: Students are invited to creatively communicate their understanding of the theme (patriotic) through various media, video, audio, Powerpoint, Flash, animation, slideshow.
Entries: Each student may submit only one entry (but may also participate in the Speech or Essay contest). Up to three students may work on a media entry.
Eligibility: The contest is open to all Utah high school students (public, private or home schools). Up to 3 students may work together on a single entry; any award will be split evenly between the team members.
Format: Each entry must be self-contained on mini dv video tape at SP (standard play).
Theme: Each entry should present a patriotic theme.
Time Length: 60 seconds. Points will be deducted for seconds over or under the limit.
Standards: Each entry should contain material suitable for a family audience and should not contain objectionable material.
Copyright: Each entry must adhere to fair use guidelines. See www.lib.byu.edu/departs/copyright.
Originality: Each entry must be the student’s own work.
Questions: Questions may be directed to matthewmaddox@earthlink.net.

Judging criteria: Entries will be judged on adherence to theme, originality, storyline, and technical merit, (timing, spacing, aesthetics, staging, etc).

Winning Entries will be shown and announced at the May 1 Speech Contest, 4pm and 7pm, Provo City Bldg, 351 W Center, Provo, UT. Winning entries will be announced at the Utah High School Film and Video Festival event.
