StudentCam 2021 Prize Winners

In a year truly like no other, we received documentaries from over 2,300 students representing 43 states and Washington, DC, Singapore, and Pakistan. Students were asked to create a 5-6 minute long video exploring the issue they most want the president and new Congress to address in 2021.

After much deliberation and multiple rounds of judging, we are thrilled to announce this year’s 150 prize winning documentaries.
