Now in its 52nd year, the California Student Media Festival is our nation’s oldest student media festival. Over the past twenty years, the California Student Media Festival has awarded more than $140,000 to California Schools. It has expanded to include the work of more than 6,000 student contestants from schools across the state. The Festival exists to celebrate the amazing media and multimedia projects produced by California’s students and teachers — rewarding and acknowledging their successful classroom work at an awards event in June every year. The Festival showcases what can be accomplished when talented students and dedicated teachers work together integrating media and multimedia into education.

Types of Projects

Live Action – The Live Action production type includes full motion productions that generally have on-screen talent in the form of actors, instructors, hosts, or narrators. Often, a computer will be used for titles, credits, overlays, and editing. Cell phone videos fit into this division. Projects encoded in most commonly accepted video will be accepted online. Examples of live action projects include: digital short, public service announcement (PSA), documentary, music video, video yearbook, news broadcast.

A “Sequential Stills” Movie – A sequential stills movie production is a series of images with text, music, video clips and/or narration added that are made into a video or multimedia project. These are oftentimes created in multimedia or movie-making software programs such as iMovie or MovieMaker, PowerPoint, Photo Story, MediaWorks or Hyperstudio. Projects encoded in most commonly accepted video will be accepted online, or uploaded in a single .zip archive.

Animation – An Animation includes drawn images, clay models, and/or real-life models that are animated to create the illusion of movement. If a piece integrates live action and animation, it falls under the animation production type. Famous examples of integrated animation are the 1945 Gene Kelly film, Anchors Aweigh and 1988’s Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Projects encoded in most commonly accepted video will be accepted online, or uploaded in a single .zip archive.

Interactive Stills – An Interactive Stills production includes images that are viewed in an order chosen by the viewer. Interactive Stills use navigation buttons and/or menus to enable the viewer to select a path. Text, music, video clips and narration may be incorporated into an Interactive Stills production. Media should be uploaded in a single .zip archive.

Website – A website is similar to an Interactive Stills however, it must be available on the Internet until November of the festival year. No media will be required but a valid public website address URL must be provided during the submission process. Changes after submission will not be considered during the judging process.
Interactive Multimedia Project – Using any of a number of media authoring tools, students create projects that combine various media and are presented via static, downloadable files. Note – a free, downloadable player must be available for entry to be eligible.
