The Freedom to Read Georgia student video contest provides an opportunity for Georgia K-12 students to share their opinions on and feelings about having a wide range of choices in reading. The contest is managed by members of Georgia Association of Instructional Technology and Georgia Library Media Association. Video projects may be live action or animated, created by an individual or a group, and will be judged on a modified version of the Georgia Student Media Festival rubric. Judging is held for exemplary, merit, and participant designations for elementary, middle, and high school contest levels. Results were reported to students' schools and local public library system in December, 2023.
