“Challenging Christian youth to speak out”

The Media Challenge video workshop is a week-long, intensive, hands-on course that will give high school teens everything they need to produce videos that engage their peers.

The goal for the week is for participants to produce a video that is clearly ‘by youth, for youth,’ challenging their peers to build a life and world view that follows and glorifies Jesus Christ.

Check out these highlights of the workshop week:

Get your hands on the equipment, try out the camera, test the audio levels, roll tape, put the edit computer through its paces and render the final project. Do it all, and experience the joy of creativity.

Final projects will be compiled, burned to disk, shown in churches and youth meetings, and shared with friends and peers. The best will be posted online. Getting the message out is the heart of the challenge.

   The Details

Where/When

The 2009 workshops are in the planning stages now so keep watching this site for updates on the schedule which will be posted in early 2009.

Openings

Each workshop program is limited to a total of 24 students who will be divided into 4 teams of 6 youth. For this reason, selection of students is first of all based on the order that applications are received and secondarily on the creative samples submitted. The workshops are open to all high school aged teens who have not yet started college.

Applications

The application deadline for priority enrollment is April 30.  After that date, applications will be accepted on a first come, first served basis until all workshop spaces are filled. Applications will be processed in the order received.  All applicants are encouraged to send samples of creative work and recommendations which will be evaluated in the selection process.
