| C-SPAN is pleased to announce the 75 winning videos in the 2013 StudentCam competition! A hearty congratulations to each of the winning documentarians, whose videos competed among the record-setting 1,893 films that were received in this year's competition. A total of 3,753 students representing 44 states, as well as Washington DC, and Taiwan, took part in the competition. We thank all of the students and faculty advisors who participated. We hope that creating your documentary was a rewarding learning experience, and that you enjoyed making them as much as we enjoyed watching them. We encourage students who remain eligible to compete in the 2014 competition to participate once again. Details about the 2014 competition will be available in July, 2013. The creators of this year's 75 winning documentaries will share in a total of $50,000 in cash prizes. Each of the winners will be contacted by C-SPAN's Education department via phone or email with additional details about their prize money.
