Students: Want $5,000?

CSPAN is having a contest.
This Year's StudentCam Topic:
A message to the new President:
What is the most urgent issue for the new president to address after taking office, and why?
Students are asked to create a short (between 5 and 8 minutes) video documentary that explores an issue of national significance that they believe is in need of urgent attention from the new president of the United States.
Your documentary should include more than one point of view. YOU MUST USE C-SPAN PROGRAMMING TO ENHANCE YOUR DOCUMENTARY. Videos that do not use C-SPAN programming will be disqualified.
About The Competition WHAT IS "C-SPAN StudentCam"?
