Alameda County Water District rolled out a virtual red carpet for Tri-City area student winners of the District’s 2nd annual WaterClips Student Video Contest! Winning videos focused on educating the community about planning and preparing for water emergencies. The District announced contest winners on May 13 at its monthly Board Meeting. Students and their families joined District Board Members and staff in an online presentation to honor each student’s award-winning video.
The contest kicked off in January and was open to Tri-City students in grades 6-12. More than 30 students submitted videos as individuals or in teams for a total of 27 entries. Qualifying entries met contest criteria, video theme and length.
The contest included Middle School and High School categories, with three winners selected from each group by a panel of local judges representing government, television and radio industries.
Judges scored videos based on their relevancy to the topic, entertainment value, creativity and originality and video quality.
“Students demonstrated creativity, production and technical skills in each video that showcases the talent of area students,” said ACWD Board President Aziz Akbari. “These videos will amplify ACWD’s message about the importance of planning and preparing for water emergencies and spotlight our youth and future leaders.”
Contest winners and sponsoring teachers were awarded cash prizes.
