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

The video contest is open to NCSBA’s 116 member-district high school students. The video can be created by an individual student or as a class project. However, prize monies will be awarded to the school to be used in the student’s classroom or campus.
  • 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?

  • Individuals in crowd scenes
  • Adult faculty members

The school submitting the video may use its district’s standard release form for this purpose.

Prizes

The top three videos and 10 Honorable Mention projects, as determined by the judges, will be shown during the 2025 annual conference. First-, second-, and third-place winners will be announced during the conference.

The prizes for this contest are $3,000 for 1st place; $2,000 for 2nd place; and $1,000 for 3rd place. Prize money will be awarded in the form of checks written to the respective winning schools.
