Video Contest
The K-State Book Network (KSBN), as proud sponsor of The Hunger Games, announces a new contest for the District of Kansas State University!
We are holding a video contest for you and your fellow students. This will be a wonderful opportunity for you to express your creative side by developing a video that will tie in with The Hunger Games.
The Contest
Create a “guerrilla style*” video that shows your knowledge or understanding of the book. Be creative! Create a “behind the scenes” look at the games, underground news shorts about the life in some of the districts, a book trailer, or a video blog of one of the contestants. The sky’s the limit!
*guerrilla style means creating something fast with low/no budget, simple props, and simple technology (cell phone, hand held video camera, etc)
