Each entry must be sponsored by an adult (teacher, parent, guardian, extra-curricular adviser, etc.). Projects can be submitted on behalf of a classroom, class project, or individual student. All communication will be sent to the sponsoring adult responsible for the entry. For each entry you will need to state the instructional objectives and/or standards addressed by the project.
For every classroom project, please submit only the “best” one to iVIE for consideration. In other words, if your students are creating similar projects on photosynthesis, please submit only one project to iVIE 2019.
Enter a project only once. Submissions may not have been entered previously to the iVIE Festival. Videos commissioned for profit may not be entered.
This is a student competition. It is understood that primary grade teachers will be very involved in video production and editing, however, it is expected that students participate in all parts of the process. At the intermediate and secondary levels, it is expected that students create the video with teacher guidance and approval only.
Save a complete, high-resolution copy of your project, as this is required for all nominated projects. Entries must represent work that was completed after April 2018 and up until the upcoming April 19, 2019 deadline. See time limits per entry categories below.
Please be sure you have permission on file for all of the students featured in your project. It will be your responsibility to upload forms releasing student likeness with submission. Click here to access the forms

There will be one winning entry per age group per category. Once again iVIE will encourage students to explore different genres and themes via the many award categories.
