2004 is an election year—a time when people think seriously about issues that affect our communities and our nation. C-SPAN's "Campaign Cam" is a competition inviting students to identify an issue of interest and to then produce a video that creatively explores and persuasively presents a point of view on that topic.
Middle school students (grades 6-8) and high school students (grades 9- 12) in the United States. Individuals or teams (up to 3 students) may enter the contest. Videos must be the original work of students, however, teachers may provide guidance and critiques. Teachers of top winners will receive digital media equipment for their schools.
