“The talent and creativity showed in this year’s iVIE SDCCU Redeye entries were impressive,” said Teresa Halleck, President and CEO of SDCCU. “We are pleased to once again support the efforts of the San Diego County Office of Education to promote technology and innovation in the classroom by presenting the iVIE Student Film Festival and Awards.

The main purpose of iVIE is to encourage students to utilize video production as a project-based learning tool. Since 2001, iVIE has grown into a major video competition with hundreds of video submissions each year that are judged by media professionals and educators. Entries are submitted in a variety of categories ranging from math, science and language arts, to documentary and public service announcements. Categories include all grade levels (elementary to high school) and in every curriculum area, from math to broadcast journalism. For more event information, visit ivieawards.org.
