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. 

For the 2026 contest year, exemplary winners will win a book from a selected list (provided through Gladys Autrey with Mackin) and other participants will be entered in random drawings for books donated by Georgia authors.   Schools may also win a visit from a Georgia author, so spread the word in your school today!
