ACTE Offers Video Contest to promote CTE Month
Aug 25, 2008
The Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE) is searching
for student filmmakers to create a 29-second Public Service
Announcement (PSA) to publicize CTE Month during February 2009.
Secondary and postsecondary students in film, video and production
classes are invited to submit video PSAs based on 2009 CTE Month’s
theme, CTE: Building Blocks for a Successful Career and emphasizing
the importance of CTE. The deadline to enter is October 31, 2008. ACTE
is partnering with SchoolTube, a safe, moderated Web site for
students, to host this year’s contest (www.Schooltube.com). Students
will upload videos to SchoolTube’s Web site, in addition to sending
broadcast-quality versions to ACTE, and a panel of marketing and media
professionals will judge the entries. ACTE will announce the winners
during its Annual Convention, December 4-6 in Charlotte, North
Carolina. The first place students will receive a $750 prize and the
school will receive one complimentary copy of Apple’s Final Cut Studio
2, a professional video-editing suite, which Apple is donating for the
contest. The second place students will receive $250 and one
complimentary copy of Apple’s Final Cut Studio 2 for the school.
Firs- and second-place videos will be publicized on the Internet and
may air on television. The complete rules and copies of copyright
assignment and release forms are available at:
