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. This year students in grades 6-12 were asked to create a short (5-6 minute) video documentary on a topic related to the competition theme, "What's Your Vision in 2020? Explore the issue you most want presidential candidates to address during the campaign."
8th graders Mary Olvera & Macy Woods from Sidney Gutierrez Middle School in Roswell, New Mexico won 3rd Prize in the Middle School division for their documentary, "America's Broken System."
C-SPAN is funded by America’s cable and satellite television companies, who also support StudentCam. In Roswell, C-SPAN is available locally through Sparklight.
