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
2. Review the categories AND rules for entering videos! This is critical.  Videos will be disqualified if rules are not followed.  You can find these documents here: Rules and Categories
3.  The rubric that is used at the regional and state level of the competition is here: Rubric 
Note: that counties may be using the same rubric to judge at the district level.
4.  The videos that win at the regional level will be required to upload their videos to Film Freeway for judging.
