Students we want you to know about a contest that challenges high school and college students to make a short video in order to “Show Us How Special Districts Make the Difference.” The California Special Districts Association (CSDA) and the Contra Costa Special Districts Association (CCSDA) are hosting these contests. There is prize money available for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prizes through both CSDA and CCSDA. Students will have from May 1st – September 30th to submit a video which will be voted on by the California Special Districts Association and the Contra Costa County Special Districts Association. When students apply through the contest website, they will automatically be entered in both the statewide and local contests. To help students learn about the unique form of government that are special districts, they are encouraged to visit special districts locally. A list of special districts within the Contra Costa County can be found on our Chapter Website. It is suggested that students contact the district first, tell them that they will be capturing the district on video for a contest and schedule a time to visit. Good luck and happy filming!
