Mundelein, IL. – Three Mundelein High School students earned awards at the Midwest Media Educators Association (MMEA) festival involving 53 schools.
Bri Sierzega and Olivia Cartland earned second place with their music video titled Hostage. In addition, Allan Rodriguez earned a third place on the Seven Day Prop and Line Challenge video titled Flashes.
“I love seeing our students have the opportunity to go against some really great schools and compete with them,” said Kent Meister, media instructor. “I am proud of the work of these three as well as the many other media students who strive for excellence with their videos.
Sierzega and Cartland expressed that they already have ideas for submissions for next year that they will begin working on this summer.
“A festival like this is great because bringing our students inspires them to push the envelope on their creativity as well as the storytelling and video skills,” Meister explained.
The Midwest Media Educators Association formerly known as the Chicagoland Television Educators Council (CTEC), and the Chicagoland Media Educators Network (CMENT), grew out of a need for teachers of media at the high school level to network by sharing ideas, techniques, information and technical knowledge about television curricula and activities.
In addition to the High School Video Festival, the Midwest Media Educators Association sponsors networking opportunities via two meetings each school year, held at various member schools, to meet, support and learn. MMEA offers scholarships in the name of one of the founding members, Mr. Luke Palermo. This year two $1,000 scholarships will be offered to two seniors.
