Jim harbin student media festival 

Picture
The Jim Harbin Student Media Festival is a student-driven program where students create media presentations from idea, to storyboard, to production, to presentation. Students work creatively to design and produce a media forum for their message and compete state-wide with students from each county in Florida. The culminating even is a red-carpet affair at FAME's Annual Conference. The experience is one of the most rewarding of the students' academic career. Students compete at three different levels: elementary, middle, and high.

The Jim Harbin Student Media Festival has been around for 45+ years!  It was Jim Harbin's vision and is FAME's vision to teach, encourage and recognize 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.  ​​
DEADLINES for 2021 Festival:
February-April: First place school winners are due to district contacts. Check with your district contact (see below) for specific deadlines. If your district does not have a contact, please email Ginger Carter to participate.

The FAME Jim Harbin Student Media Festival was created in honor of Jim Harbin, a former consultant with the Florida Department of Education, who originated the idea of a statewide student media festival to recognize the excellent work being done across the state of Florida by student media producers. 

FAME sponsors the Jim Harbin Student Media Festival to encourage students of FAME members to communicate through media production and to recognize and reward outstanding presentations. These talented student producers are honored for their outstanding media productions at an awards ceremony at the FAME Annual Conference. 

Your students will have a stimulating and positive educational learning experience as they create their productions. If you are interested in judging, need more information, or have suggestions or comments, please contact the state chairperson or your regional chair or district contact listed above.
