GRAND RAPIDS, MI - More than $20,000 in prizes was given away Saturday to 18 Michigan high schools for their winning entries in the Meijer Great Choices Student Film Festival.
Public service announcements were submitted by 306 students from 52 high schools, including those in Forest Hills, Byron Center, East Grand Rapids, Thornapple-Kellogg, Jenison and Rockford. Half of the 60 high school students notified that they are finalists and invited to participate in the awards event are from Kent County schools.
The Van Singel Fine Arts Center, along with Celebration Cinema, will host the award presentation at Celebration Cinema North at Knapp's Corner, 2121 Celebration Drive. A welcome reception for finalists and their guests will kick-off the event. The ceremony begins at 11 a.m. and will feature special guest speaker Steven M. Ford, chairman of the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation and son of the late president.
The public service announcements promote positive choices in the areas of character education, healthy lifestyles and celebrating diversity. The purpose of the film festival is to highlight the talent of audio and visual students while allowing them to make a positive impact in those positive areas.Two different audiences were targeted: Kindergarten through sixth grade, or seventh through 12th grade.
The competition was designed for Michigan high school student filmmakers to exhibit their creative talent in audio and visual communications and to share their messages with K-12 schools throughout the state. Home school students also compete. Audio and visual students and professors from colleges and universities, including Ferris State, Grand Valley State and Western Michigan University were the preliminary judges and choose the finalists based on specific criteria.
There was 18 first, second and third place winners announced at the awards presentation. The top three winners from each category will receive prizes of $2,000, $1,000, or $500 in the form of a gift card. All finalists will receive an award and gift bag at the awards presentation. In August, the winning PSAs in each category will be reproduced on DVDs and distributed to schools across the state as tools for their character education, health education and diversity programs. DVDs will also be made available to all Meijer stores for in-store airing.
The purpose of the film festival is to highlight the talent of our state's audio and visual students while allowing these students to make a positive impact on our state's K-12 youth in the areas of Diversity, Character Ed, and Healthy Lifestyles. It was developed in partnership with Meijer Inc., the Meijer Family Foundation, Chemical Bank, the M.E. Davenport Foundation, Celebration Cinemas and the Van Singel Fine Arts Center.
