The Virginia School Boards Association is asking students to express their thoughts and ideas around the theme “Workforce Readiness” through our fourth annual student video contest. Schools are invited to submit a 30-second video that conveys the contest theme. The top 3 videos, along with those identified by the judges as Honorable Mentions, will be recognized at the VSBA Annual Convention. Videos will be judged on how well they address the topic as well as the quality of the production and the creativity of the video. No professional assistance can be provided to produce the video. The format of the video is up to the students. Videos can be a commercial, news broadcast, music video, etc. Please note, only videos by high school students will be judged.

Applications and youtube links to the videos are due by October 3, 2016. Please note, a signed permission slip is due for each student who makes (not shown in) the video. For any questions, please conact Brianna Hundley, coordinator of board development, at [email protected].
