Description

The NSHSS Film and Media Production Scholarship will be awarded to NSHSS members graduating high school in 2025, 2026, 2027, or 2028. Applicants must create and submit an artistic representation of a day in their life through film. How is their day unique, exciting, making an impact? Applicants must be creative, animation is allowed. Films should be no more than 5 minutes long, and submissions can be made in the following categories: scripted film narrative, animation, documentary, or short film. Copyright music may be used if the song's original artist and composer are credited. Applicants must also submit the title and description of their submission (4-5 lines), including what inspired the work, how it was created, and the intent. Entries will be judged on the expression of a clear theme; quality of the story line and script, if applicable; creativity and/or content originality; production quality; and editing. NSHSS has a no-tolerance policy for plagiarism. Any applicant whose winning work is determined to be plagiarized in whole or in part will forfeit any awards.
