Mission
The Festival strongly encourages project-based learning and meaningful student work in media and multimedia and exists to acknowledge and reward successful classroom work.
The Festival believes that...
- students are capable of extremely high level work, beginning at very early grades
- media and multimedia are excellent tools for students
- video and multimedia should be integrated into the regular subject-area curriculum
- rewarding exemplary work and good school programs encourages more of both.
