OPEN NOW! 2017 Student Video Contest

Monday, August 28, the California Special Districts Association (CSDA) launched the 2017 Student Video Contest where students are challenged to create a video that shows how special districts ‘Make the Difference’ in California.

The 2017 Student Video Contest is part of the Districts Make the Difference public outreach campaign and aims at increasing public awareness and understanding of special districts.

Do you know a student who may be interested? Do you know a teacher, principal, superintendent, or school board member that could help promote the contest? Spread the word! There is still time for students to create a 60-second video and enter the competition at www.DistrictsMaketheDifference.org/contest, but hurry! The application period ends Friday, October 20 at 5:00 p.m.

After all entries are received, CSDA officials will select the top five finalists and feature those videos on the Districts Make the Difference website. The public will then have the opportunity to vote for their favorite video and the top three vote-winners will receive scholarship prizes. In December, we will award $2,000 to the first place winner, $1,000 to the second place winner, and $500 to the third place winner.

Watch the 2016 finalists’ videos, get additional information, and read the official contest rules at www.DistrictsMaketheDifference.org/contest.
