Video Awards Message from David Yates

Dear Colleagues,

Most of the rules and judging criteria are identical to those used last year. In a nutshell, here are the major changes:

  • All entries, including the random news show collected between October 1 and December 20, will be submitted directly to ITV servers. Submissions must be made from computers connected to the PCSB computer network.
  • Category 7 will now be called Creativity Games. Unlike the Hunger Games, which promoted unhealthy mayhem, this category is designed to promote creativity and problem solving, both important 21st century skills.

At 9 a.m. on Friday, February 1, schools will be notified about five items that must be included in their Creativity Games entry. Schools can take whatever approach to including these five items as they wish, including making a documentary, short film, long report, news show, or any other video format except music video.

Entrants will be judged on the basis of script smoothness & continuity (25%), technical merit (25%), and creativity (50%).

Schools must upload their entry to ITV’s servers from a computer connected to the PCSB network by 11:59 p.m., Monday, February 4.

A trial run with five different items will be held October 26-29.

  • Schools who want to compete for a Best Daily News Show award will submit one randomly-selected news show covering a two-week period chosen by ITV, and two additional shows submitted at the discretion of the school by the March 8, 2013 Video Awards deadline. The random show will be called for between October 1 and December 20 and must be submitted to an ITV server via the district’s computer netowork.
  • Schools who do not wish to compete for Best Daily News Show need submit only the one random news show.
  • Schools that produce their music video (category 3) entirely from scratch will have 10 bonus points added to their score. “From scratch” in this case means that students and teachers write the lyrics, perform the music, and of course, edit their video. The use of Garage Band and Soundtrack is permitted. Any teachers, staff and students in a school may be involved in the production.
  • Categories 4, 5, & 6, will now involve five clips rather than 10.
  • By a vote of the district’s ITV teachers, we will have only one champion news show at the middle school level and one at the high school level, with runners-up recognized as such. There is no change to our practice of recognizing multiple champions at the elementary level.

All video awards entry submission information will be entered online at http://www.formstack.com/forms/itv-2013vasubmission.

Entry forms will include a place to attach written copyright permissions or indicate that your entry contains no copyrighted material.

Information for your student of the year will be entered online at: http://www.formstack.com/forms/itv-soty2013.

We are excited about honoring you and your students at our 21st Video Awards Ceremony on Tuesday, April 30, 2013, at Victory Church in North Lakeland. Our theme is Indiana Jones and students and teachers are already busy working on our opening movie. We will once again honor elementary schools at 5 p.m. and secondary schools at approximately 7 p.m. and will open our people’s choice voting to everyone who can text.

Please encourage students, staff, and parents, and business partners to attend this exciting celebration of student-centered learning. It is truly a school event like no other.
