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 students in grades 6-12 are asked to create a short (5-6 minute) video documentary on a topic related to the competition theme, "What's Your Vision in 2020? Explore the issue you most want presidential candidates to address during the campaign."

With cash prizes totaling $100,000 each year, C-SPAN awards prizes to 150 student documentaries, and over 50 teacher advisors. Since 2004, C-SPAN has awarded over $1 million dollars in cash prizes to past winning students and teachers.

We encourage all entrants to support their position with facts.  As you prepare your entry, consider how you might draw on, or examine, some of the following trends:

• Increasing global consumer interest in how food is produced and processed

• Popularity and growth of high protein diets featuring plant-based protein

“I SHOW KINDNESS BY...”

Friendship, smiles, thank yous, and hugs.

But kindness is so much more than just being nice. This year’s theme invites you to tell us how you show kindness. Is it by helping around your home? Volunteering in your community’s green space? Maybe it’s comforting someone who’s down, or picking up trash in the park.

However you define it, let us know how you bring a little bit more kindness into the world. Take your ideas and bring them to life in your doodle!
