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?"
The team of 10th grade students Caroline Bathon, Max Erlebacher, & Lili Miller from Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring, Maryland won 3rd Prize for their documentary, "Inflation: A Perfect Storm."
C-SPAN is funded by America’s cable and satellite television companies, who also support StudentCam. In Montgomery County, Maryland, C-SPAN is available locally through Comcast.
"It is truly an inspiration to hear young voices tackle important issues in such creative and thoughtful ways," said Misty Allen, Vice President of Government and Regulatory Affairs for Comcast’s Beltway Region. "Comcast is proud to once again partner with C-SPAN for its StudentCam competition and help recognize these students on their outstanding achievement."
