Awards To Be Mailed

We will be mailing award plaques to schools/organizations that did not receive one last year. If your school received a plaque last year, we will mail a plate to add to the plaque listing the number of awards earned this year. We will distribute certificates at the Awards Ceremony in Jacksonville and mail the remaining certificates to the schools after the Festival.

At the Awards Ceremony

Winning Producers are invited to the stage as long as they have pre-registered to attend the Festival. We drape each with a festival medallion and present to him or her a personalized certificate.

Designations

Each year, K-12 students from around the world submit their learning projects to the festival to be judged by educators who know and teach technology. These judges use detailed rubrics for judging each type of media and consider the age levels of the students as they evaluate each project on its own merit. Those exceeding the minimum criteria earn an “Excellence in Media Production” designation. Because we have such talented entrants and many entries have been culled from state media festivals, a healthy proportion of our entrants earn this designation.

A Judges’ Favorite is awarded to a student media project that may or may not meet our minimum criteria but that stands out among all the entries. If judges particularly enjoyed or were impressed with a project, they designated it a favorite.

A “Best of Festival” award is given to a Judges’ Favorite entry that has met all of our stringent criteria of excellence and is considered to be the best of the best.
