11th grade students Tiana Tringas & Sofia Bennani from Winter Park High School in Florida won 3rd Prize in the High School Eastern division for their documentary about food waste, “Food for Thought.” As 3rd Prize winners, the duo will split $750 in prize money.
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?”
C-SPAN is funded by America’s cable and satellite television companies, who also support StudentCam. In Winter Park, C-SPAN is available locally through Spectrum.
