Judges praised both the resource's value and presentation. One judge described it as "AMAZING!" while another called it "visually appealing" and "clear and concise."
Second Place, Short Video Presentation
Founders' Day Proclamation
Recognizing excellence in short-form video production, this award is judged on quality, creativity and relevance to the intended audience.
Judges highlighted the video's unique storytelling approach. One judge called the use of photographs "particularly strong and creative," while another praised its "great beginning, middle, and end."
