White House Film Fest Contest

Here's an awesome opportunity for students at MHS to have their film featured at the White House!  Read on for more info.

Yeah, having your schoolwork posted on the fridge at home is cool. But having a video you made posted on the White House website and screened at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? We think that’s pretty cool, too. That’s why we’re super-excited to announce the first-ever White House Student Film Festival: a video contest created just for K-12 students, and whose finalists will have their short films shown at the White House. Finalist videos may also be featured on the White House website, YouTube channel, and social media pages.

They are looking for films by students (less than 3 minutes long) that address one of two themes:
1. How you currently use technology in your classroom or school.
2. The role technology will play in education in the future.
