Middle School Video Contest

2026 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 middle school goes above and beyond.

Eligibility

The video contest is open to NCSBA’s 116 member-district middle 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 13. The deadline to submit your video is September 28 by 5:00 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

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