Trying to decide what the topic of your film should be? Create an American Graduate film!
All Film Festival entries that explore issues related to reaching educational milestones will also be considered for the Utah American Graduate theme prize, sponsored by the Utah Education Network's Utah American Graduate project. The prize will be awarded to one video in each age group that, regardless of genre, explores issues related to education. Possibilities include (but aren't limited to) profiles of people or organizations that help people reach education milestones, stories of real people or fictional characters who have overcome challenges to get an education, public service announcements that encourage students to stay in school, documentaries that explore issues in education, etc. 
For additional inspiration, please view American Graduate film examples below and visit www.uen.org/americangraduate.

​Select American Graduate themed films will be featured on the 
American Graduate website, will be considered for broadcast on UEN-TV, and will receive an extra prize. Contact your school's Ed Tech specialist with any questions or email kathryn.blunt@canyonsdistrict.org.
