The Escondido Education Foundation presents

Escondido Youth Media Festival

Friday, June 3, 2011

Concert Hall

Video showings take place on the hour at 4 p.m., 5 p.m. and 6 p.m.

Awards begin at 7 p.m.

Produced in partnership with the Escondido Union School District (EUSD) the Escondido Youth Media Festival gives EUSD students the opportunity to enter digital Video, Photography, and Music/Audio media projects for consideration by expert judges.  The event includes a showing of all works nominated for prizes and an awards ceremony that is an experience unto itself! This year, exhibitors from related fields will give visitors more ways to learn about the world of digital media. Free and open to the public, the Festival will feature a raffle drawing for all EUSD students who attend.

Business, communications, and every other aspect of our life is now managed through computers and increasingly, hand-held devices.  This event showcases the amazing prowess of EUSD students in all grades as they use these emerging tools to advance their learning and development.

Prior to the Awards, the Escondido Education Foundation invites you to join other future-minded folks committed to building social capital in Escondido at the 2nd Annual Gizmo's and Gadgets fundraiser.  Your attendance helps foster innovation in K-8 public classrooms through highly-effective technology programs and other innovative learning in the Escondido Union School District.

The California Center for the Arts, Escondido is proud to host this event as part of the Educational Tax Sharing Partnership.  Local school districts including the Escondido Union School District, Escondido Union High School District, San Marcos Unified School District and Palomar Community College all benefit from using the Center's performance venues during the school year at no rental costs to the partner schools.  Theater operational costs including stagehands and equipment, ushers and ticket office staff are funded through the Center's general operating budget.  Last year, over 11,000 people attended performances in support of our local students' music, dance, and drama programs.
