[Pam Inglesby]

TVW Will Air Student "Justice for All" Videos; WSBA Contest Deadline is
June 15


The Washington State Bar Association is partnering with TVW to promote
the WSBA's YouTube video contest, "Justice for All: A Northwest
Perspective." 

Washington residents of all ages and filmmaking abilities are encouraged
to enter the contest by creating a short video on the theme of "justice
for all" and posting it on the YouTube website. Two prizes of $1,000
will be awarded, one for a video chosen by a panel of judges and the
other for the video that receives the most hits on YouTube.

The best videos submitted by K-12 students will be featured TVW's
"Engaged: Students Becoming Citizens" program. "Engaged" was recently
nominated for a 2009 Emmy(r) Award by the Northwest Chapter of the
National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. TVW, the state's
public affairs television network, is available to most cable television
subscribers. The student videos will also appear on TVW's new online
site for educators, Teach With TVW (www.teachwithtvw.org).

The WSBA created the video contest to advance the public's understanding
of the rule of law and the justice system. All Washington residents are
eligible to submit a video of up to three minutes by June 15. The
contest rules are posted online at www.wsba.org/justiceforall.htm. A
flyer that can be distributed to students is posted at
http://www.wsba.org/ple/youtubeflyer.pdf.

The panel of judges for the contest includes the Honorable Gerry
Alexander, Chief Justice of the Washington State Supreme Court; Krist
Novoselic, musician and media columnist; Barbara Serrano, managing
editor of the Yakima Herald-Republic; and Elizabeth Shepherd, director
of children's programming at the Northwest Film Forum.
