Georgia Student Media Festival
I am looking forward to working as a judge a the Georgia Student Media Festival on May 1st. They’ve posted several samples from last year’s Georgia festival. The International Student Media Festival is the goal of the Georgia competitors, and they have posted work from past winners. There are even more posted on SchoolTube
I signed up yesterday, and there’s lots of information on the site:
The purpose of the festival is to stimiulate student interest and involvement in all types of media production. This is accomplished by providing an opportunity for students to show their work to an interested audience, to have their work critiqued by a panel of expert judges, and to be stimulated by the work of other students.
The students worked really hard on the samples I’ve viewed, and I’ll watch more before the Festival. I’ll try to blog a bit from the competition, but more for sure on this the week after!

I followed some of those links, but now I’m even more puzzled. Do you know what they mean by “students”, exactly?
The Entry details for the ISMF at http://www.ismf.net/ns/documents/entryPDFforwebsite_000.pdf say that the festival is “For students of all ages”, but also seems to imply that it is only open to “K-12” (which I understand is a US term for schoolchildren).
Is this kind of thing open to university and graduate students, for example? Or have I missed the point?
