Student video contests

For all you budding student film makers out there: there are several video contests to submit entries to, especially considering the prizes involved!

The University of Delaware Office of Campus and Public Safety is offering a video contest for students to submit videos up to two minutes long that address the topic of “Emergency 101: Preparing College Students." The video will be posted on the Emergency Preparedness website and shown in seminars and other events. The winner will also receive a $250 cash card. The deadline for submission is 4 p.m. on Friday, November 19.

The Sparky Awards, organized by SPARC, the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition, is sponsoring a student video contest about the importance of open sharing of ideas and information. Contest categories include: best animation, best speech, best remix, and people's choice. Entries can be created individually or in teams. Prizes include: an iPad, if the creator is an individual; iPhones, if the video is a creation of a two member team, and iPods, if the video is a creation of a three to six member team. The deadline to submit is May 26, 2011.

EDUCAUSE is conducting a student video and poster contest about information security awareness. The contest is sponsored by CyberWatch, the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA), and Chapman University. Winners will receive cash prizes.


Posters and videos must explain information security problems and specific actions college and university students can take to safeguard their computers, mobile devices, or personal information. There are two categories of videos: videos of two minutes or less for use in training or instruction, and 30-second public service announcements. Posters should be submitted separately. The deadline to submit is March 11, 2011.
