Pinellas Students Win International Media Awards


Projects from Lakewood High, McMullen-Booth Elementary, Sutherland Elementary and the now-closed Riviera Middle won awards in the International Student Media Festival, which will be presented Nov. 8 on the final day of the three-day festival in Orlando. Lakewood is a winner of the festival’s top prize, which is awarded to only 1 percent of entries.

The International Student Media Festival celebrates excellence in student-produced media and is sponsored by the Association for Educational Communication and Technology, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving instruction through technology.

Lakewood is to receive eight awards – Best of Festival, the top award, in the website category for “CATCOM Studios;” Judges’ Favorite, the second highest award, for Hip Hop and Religion: Can They Kick It Together? and Chocolate Nutcracker, both in the live action category; and Excellence in Media in the live action category for Fox Thirteen Magazine, Alone in the Crowd, Pirates, Discovery Cove and Sky Venture.

Four students at McMullen-Booth won an Excellence in Media Award in the grades 4-5 live action category for Test Invasion.

Four students at Sutherland received an Excellence in Media Award in the grade K-3 live action category for The Great Race: Iditarod.

A former student of Riviera Middle won an Excellence in Media Award in the live animation category for Volleyball Fight!

Winning schools receive a trophy, and students received personalized certificates. Winning students who attend the festival receive a medallion when they are presented on stage.
