festivid
An online video festival for high school students
Festivid Rules
Festivid has a few rules.
Running Time Limitations
As the platform for Festivid is currently YouTube, the YouTube time limit of 10 minutes applies. We do not want multiple part videos. Think SMALL.
Content Limitations
YouTube has certain community standards and if a video is removed by YouTube because of copyright infingement, offensive content or whatever, the video will not be part of the competition.
The videos submitted to Festivid represent the work of students in the participating school. Festivid coordinators should be sensitive to their local populations and submit work that would be acceptable to their school community. Would you screen this video to an audience made up of a cross-section of adults from your school community?
The Festivid videos are being hosted publicly by Youtube and are therefore viewable globally. Consider the the extent to which you want to expose the identity of your school, students or other community members to the general Web public. Festivid does not require that you identify students in the credits.
Festivid coordinators can raise issues about any individual video in the competition. Rational discussion is encouraged. If a consensus emerges that a particular video is inappropriate for Festivid, the video will be removed from the competition.
The Festivid organizers reserve the right to remove any video from the competition.
School Entry Limitations
Each year, each school is limited to..
..The submission of no more than 12 videos.
..A maximum of 60 minutes total running time.
..No more than one nomination in each of the Festivid award categories.
There are no minimun levels. A school could submit one, 30 second video, and nominate it in all the award categories.
The goal of Festivid is, through the competition, to help raise the standard of student work. The rules above encourage participating schools to be critically selective. If a school nominates a video for the Editing award, then the school becomes an effective participant in the competition.
