Student media projects honored

The 39th annual California Student Media and Multimedia Festival

Awards will be held from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday at the Huntington

Beach KOCE-TV studios, 15751 Gothard St., to recognize multimedia and

media projects produced by teachers and students throughout the

state.

Winners will be chosen from more than 6,000 submissions and will

receive a $1,000 award for their school. The projects will be

showcased on three giant screens and student winners will have the

oppor- tunity to give an acceptance speech as they are recognized

with plaques and certificates.

The festival awards began nearly four decades ago as a small,

local competition and has expanded to include students’ work from

across the state. Since the beginning, the festival has awarded more

than $105,000 to California schools.

The festival is coordinated by KOCE-TV, the PBS station in Orange

County, and is sponsored by the California School Library Assn. The

event is free and open to the public.
