Jim Harbin Entry Information

The Jim Harbin Student Media Festival has been around for 48 years!  It was Jim Harbin's vision and is FAME's vision to teach, encourage and  celebrate Florida's student media producers.  Student filmmakers learn many valuable lessons from equipment usage & care to copyright laws to protect artists like themselves.  We celebrate the learning and creativity of Florida's young artists.  
​
STEPS TO JIM HARBIN STUDENT MEDIA FESTIVAL
1. For student videos to be eligible for the Jim Harbin Student Media Festival the video(s) must first go through a county and then the regional level.  Chairpersons for these contests can be found here: ​Jim Harbin homepage
