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. 2024 marked the 20th anniversary of the competition and we invited middle and high school students to create a short documentary addressing the theme, “Looking Forward while Considering the Past.”
12th and 11th grade students Elizabeth Jones & Keagan Sponsler from Jenks High School in Oklahoma won 3rd Prize for their documentary, “A Planet Near the End.” As 3rd Prize winners, the duo will receive $750 in prize money.
C-SPAN is funded by America’s cable and satellite television companies, who also support StudentCam. In Jenks, C-SPAN is available locally through Cox Communications.
