Mass Media...

Text Box: MASS MEDIA Purpose: To train Christians to use the media effectively. In the current age of information and technology, more Christians need to be in the world of mass media. Participation: Students may participate in any or all of the following five categories: Article/Editorial, Audio Presentation, Storyline, Video Presentation & Website. In each category of participation, there will be three divisions: • Grades 3 – 6 • Grades 7 – 9 • Grades 10 – 12 In the Storyline and Website events, boys and girls may participate together in teams or individually (Website only). In all other categories, boys and girls will participate separately. ARTICLE/EDITORIAL This event involves a written article or editorial suitable for publication. AUDIO PRESENTATION Audio composition involves a CD recording. The presentation should be in a public service announcement (PSA) format or similar to 30-second informational “commercials” that ministries use on radio. NEW FOR 2011: POWERPOINT A new category has been added for Mass Media—PowerPoint presentation. The details are still being finalized and will be in the revised rules book which will be posted in August, 2010. Each participant will develop a PowerPoint presentation based on the same information—most likely a specific chapter of the current year’s Pearls book. STORYLINE This event involves a dramatized Bible story, Bible truth, or moral lesson presented on video cassette or DVD. VIDEO PRESENTATION Students are encouraged to think of the video event as preparing a presentation for television. WEBSITE The purpose is to expand students’ influence to global proportions. Websites may be submitted by individual students or groups of two or more students working together. Websites are accessible by anyone on the World Wide Web. Viewers need to see Jesus working in lives of students. The impression made through such a site may be the viewer’s only experience of Christianity. Awards: Trophies are given to first, second and third place winners in each grade division of each category.
