VERMONT ACCESS NETWORK SPONSORS VIDEO CONTEST

 

The Vermont Access Network (VAN) is sponsoring its first-ever statewide video contest. The VAN Video Challenge will run from March 21 through April 1 and is open to all Vermonters. Overall winners will be chosen in each of three categories: up to grade 9, grade 10 through 12, and college/adult. Winners will be notified in late April and will be awarded prizes and receive lunch and a screening of their work during VAN's annual meeting in May.

Participants can sign up, attend a brief orientation session, and pay the $25 entry fee at their local community media center on March 21. At that time they will receive guidelines, including theme and genre, for their project. They may produce their five-minute movie using the media center's resources or their own. A list of all Vermont community media centers is available at vermontaccess.net/amo.

The Vermont Access Network is a professional membership organization established to promote an interest in, and the effective operation and advancement of, their 26 member Public, Educational and Governmental Access Management Organizations. VAN's mission is to further their goals, foster free speech, enable interconnectivity, and facilitate community discourse through the use of current Cable and Internet technologies.
