Student Production Awards Purpose
To recognize outstanding student achievement in production by conferring awards of merit in the Chapter's designated awards region. The presentation of these awards is intended to be an incentive for the continued pursuit of excellence by those studying media and journalism and to focus public attention on outstanding cultural, educational, technological, entertainment, news and informational achievements by undergraduate college and/or high school students.
Free Educational Workshops
The Rocky Mountain Southwest Chapter of NATAS is dedicated to connecting our future broadcasters and filmmakers with education and support as they grow and advance in their studies. We’re committed to mentoring our region’s students throughout the school year with our free Lights, Camera, Careers program. This program can cover a wide variety of topics in our industry and is customizable based on the advisor’s and students’ studies and interests. We can provide guest speakers who come to your school OR set up off site workshops.
Additionally, we record and provide our Lights, Camera, Careers on-demand on our YouTube channel.
