In replacement for the annual Education Media Awards (EMAs), Library Media presents a first-time local film festival this year to students of all age groups in the Pinellas County School District.
The theme this year for students is storytelling.
“A thing I am most looking forward to at the festival is being able to see the new video entries from students this year,” Media center specialist Heather Robinson said.
The K-5 student category choices are animations, book trailers, comedies, documentaries, dramas, music videos, PSAs and podcasts, varying from a 60 second pieces to a 5-minute time limit.
Grades 6 through twelve have the choices to make an animation, comedy, drama and/or documentary with a 7-minute time limit.
The submissions must be made online by March 9, 4:30 p.m..
