StudentCam 2019

What is StudentCam?

StudentCam is C-SPAN's annual national video documentary competition that encourages students to think critically about issues that affect our communities and our nation.

This year we have doubled the number of student prizes from 75 to 150 awards, and increased the teacher advisor prizes to 53 awards, all up totaling $100,000 in cash prizes!

Students are asked to create a short (5-7 minute) video documentary on a topic related to the competition theme listed below.

“What Does It Mean to Be American”

Choose a constitutional right, national characteristic, or a historic event and explain how it defines the American Experience.
