BEST DOCUMENTARY LONG FORM

The category is for long form documentaries that deal with an issue of public interest explored in-depth with multiple credible sources. Subject matter can include (but is not limited to) investigations, examinations of social issues, and historical retrospectives. The documentary must have been produced entirely by students. The entry must be between ten (10) and thirty (30) minutes, although the program may have been longer in its entirety and must be presented as "consecutive minutes,” not several samples of scoped material.

Judges will evaluate the quality of production and journalistic skills demonstrated in presentation and editing. Considerations will include content, editing, lighting, graphics, writing, use of audio and video.
