The Districts Make the Difference 2019 Student Video Contest has officially launched. All high school and college students are invited to create a fun and informative 60-90 second video highlighting how special districts make the difference for California’s communities.
The 2019 Student Video Contest is part of the Districts Make the Difference public outreach campaign established by CSDA to increase public awareness and understanding of special districts. After the submission period closes on September 30, CSDA officials will score each video based on four criteria:
- Accuracy and effectiveness
- Creativity and originality
- Production quality
- Entertainment value
In November, the five highest scoring videos will be featured on the Districts Make the Difference website and the public will vote for their favorite video. The top three vote-winners will receive scholarship prizes:
- First Place: $2,000
- Second Place: $1,000
- Third Place: $500
Some CSDA affiliated chapters are hosting local video contests in conjunction with the Districts Make the Difference statewide contest. Students who enter the statewide contest are automatically entered in their region’s local contest if the corresponding affiliated chapter is hosting one. The participating chapters will inform students if their video was selected as a local contest winner.
The 2019 Student Video Contest is a great opportunity for high school and college students to showcase their video skills and learn about their local special districts. Don’t miss out on the chance to have your district highlighted in a winning video and enter today!
