exists to acknowledge and reward successful classroom work. The
Festival believes that
- students are capable of extremely high
level work, beginning at very early grades

for students
- media and multimedia should be integrated
into the regular subject-area curriculum
- rewarding exemplary work and good
school programs encourages more of both
