StudentCam is C-SPAN’s annual national video documentary competition that encourages students to think critically about issues that affect our communities and our nation. 2025 marked the 21st year of the competition and in this presidential inaugural year, we asked students to explore and analyze matters of personal, local or national importance by addressing the theme — “Your Message to the President: What issue is most important to you or your community?”
11th grade students Abigail Currie, Fernanda Le Duc, & Tanvi Soni from Imagine International Academy of North Texas in McKinney, Texas won 2nd Prize in the High School West division for their documentary, “Confronting the Opioid Crisis: A President’s Prescription for Change.” As 2nd Prize winners, the team will split $1,500 in prize money.
C-SPAN is funded by America’s cable and satellite television companies, who also support StudentCam. In McKinney, C-SPAN is available locally through Spectrum.
