This documentary film contest is a great way for students to create a project focusing on one aspect of civic life (perhaps as part of a class project or research that they are doing) and have the opportunity to share their work with a national audience. Details on how to participate in this project can be found at the link below. If your students are presenting at the symposium this deadline is only one day before the symposium-why not document their civically engaged work and have it presented to an audience beyond GW as well?
