StudentCam is C-SPAN's annual national video documentary competition that encourages students to think critically about issues that affect our communities and our nation.
With cash prizes totaling $100,000 each year, C-SPAN awards prizes to the top 150 student documentaries, and over 50 teacher advisers.
Grand, first and second prize winning documentaries air on the C-SPAN networks during the month of April.
Students in grades 6-12 are asked to create a short video related to each year's theme. Documentaries must include clips of supporting or opposing C-SPAN video that relate to their chosen topic. Winning documentaries will thoroughly explore a variety of viewpoints on the topic. We recommend interviewing experts, elected officials and others who can help inform students on their subject. Videos must be between 5-6 minutes in length and free of offensive content. Entries must include either end credits or a works cited list. End credits, if applicable, must begin after the 5-minute mark but are permitted to run longer than the allotted 6-minute time frame. Additional information can be found on the competition's website.
