2025 VSBA High School Student Video Contest
The Virginia School Boards Association is once again asking Virginia high school students to create a video that expresses their thoughts and ideas about public education. The theme for the 14th annual competition, is “Champions for Impact in Public Education” and students can choose one of three topics:
- Champions of Our School
- Our Champion Stories
- Community of Champions
Each school division is invited to submit one 30-second video that conveys the contest theme. The top video selected for each category, along with those identified by the judges as honorable mentions, will be posted on VSBA’s YouTube site, VSBA website, and a press release announcing the winners. Winners will be honored at the VSBA Annual Convention in November.
For more information on how to submit video entries, please see the attached document. Information is also available on the VSBA website. All submissions must be sent through the online submission form.
PLEASE NOTE: Only ONE submission per school division will be accepted.
The deadline for submissions has passed.
**All students that are featured in the video (excluding wide shots of crowds) and working on the video must have their parent/guardian sign a VSBA Student Video Contest Participant Release Form. The form is located on the second page of the below linked document. Submissions will not be considered if there is not a release form attached to the online submission for each participating student.**
If you have any questions, please contact Bella Corbo at bella@vsba.org or call 434-295-8722 ext. 2.
