This note was recently sent to me and I thought it would be worth passing on. It looks like a fun project for students. I’m told that either individual students or schools can enter:
River Valley Middle School proudly presents the 4th Annual River Valley International Student Film and Photography Festival. This year the festival is open to all schools (public and private) in all countries. The submission deadline will be the end of September 2007. Judging will take place in 3 locations throughout Canada and China during October with the awards show and webcast in December, 2007.
We have two divisions of the festival, Video and Photography. The Video division will be made up of Documentaries, Commercials, Drama’s, Comedies, and Animation’s. The Photography division will be made up of Landscape, People and Experimental categories. Schools can submit 9 photographs per category, for a total of 27 photographs and one film per category for a total of 5 films from each school.
The films must be no longer than 4 minutes in total length and must have been produced during the 2006 and 2007 school years. Films must be in AVI, .MOV or DVD format. Films will not be accepted that are in VHS or Mpeg format. Photographs must be digital, in jpeg, tiff or Raw format, with a resolution size capable for a 5 x 7 image and must have been produced during the 2006 and 2007 school year. Movies and Photographs will not be returned.

This is a free contest which promotes student accomplishments and creativity.
