StudentCam is C-SPAN's annual national video documentary competition that encourages students to think critically about issues that affect our communities and our nation. 2023 marked the 19th year of the competition and we invited middle and high school students to create a short documentary addressing the theme: "If you were a newly elected member of Congress, which issue would be your first priority and why?"
7th grade students Sophie de la Houssaye & Whitney Kuzmich from Correia Middle School in San Diego, California won 3rd Prize for their documentary, "Human Trafficking: Teach Our Youth or Leave Them in the Dark?"
C-SPAN is funded by America’s cable and satellite television companies, who also support StudentCam. In San Diego, C-SPAN is available locally through Cox Communications.
