We’re asking Canadian high school, CEGEP and college students (age 19 and under) to submit a 3- to 10-minute documentary film or news report they have created to the contest. The film should focus on an issue affecting their community.
- Winners will be named on the day of the colloquium, March 21.
- Entries will be accepted in French or English.
- The five best entries will be posted on the Morrin Centre website where the public will have a chance to vote.
- The winning entry will be announced at the event.
- The students involved in the creation of the five best entries will be invited to take part in one of the round-tables where they will discuss the making of their reports.
- During the round-table, Anglophone and Francophone students will discuss their perceptions of language and media and how it shaped their reports.
- The session will be moderated by a prominent bilingual media personality, which will also help to encourage student participation. This will also allow students to express themselves in the official language of their choice.
