This is not a film class, so the cinematography of the video will be evaluated only very minimally. The
largest portion of your evaluation will come from the geographic merit of your video – the video should be
geographically informative and have educational value.
Please be aware that although you are encouraged to be creative and entertaining, you should not be
insensitive or insulting toward other cultures or peoples. Videos deemed inappropriate will not be
accepted for assessment.
Cultures/Peoples were treated with appropriate sensitivity and dignity.
