2025 Theme: What's Super About Public Schools?
NCSBA encourages students to create a video of what makes their local public school super. That could be teachers, school staff, or anything that they love about their school!
The goal is to produce a video that demonstrates the unique ways that your high school goes above and beyond.
Eligibility
- Video entries should be 60 seconds or less.
- The video must be an original work.
Submission process and Media Release Forms
The submission form will open on May 20. The deadline to submit your video is October 1 by 5 p.m. If you have any issues with the online submission process, email bc********@***ba.org. Please remember to submit a signed release form for:
- Each person who has a speaking role in the video
- Anyone who is distinctly featured in the video
- Those involved in the production of the video
- Any student who creates song or music for the video
Who doesn’t need to sign a release?
