The 8th Annual National Student Production Awards revealed its winners in a virtual ceremony hosted by The Foundation of The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS). This annual competition acknowledges the skills of high school students nationwide. Notably, two high schools in the SF/NorCal region produced winners this year.

Alex Carevic and Sean Medvecki from Granite Bay High School (Granite Bay, CA) secured awards in the music video category, while Coffee Cave from Buchanan High School (Clovis, CA) was awarded in the Multimedia Journalist (MMJ) or Video Essay category.

“Our chapter extends congratulations to all winning students, advisors, and high schools,” said Toby Momtaz, NATAS SF/NorCal Education Chair. “We take tremendous pride in fostering such great talent representing our region year after year.”

This year, participants from more than 120 schools took part in the competition, having previously earned recognition as winners in one of the NATAS Regional Chapter competitions. Recipients were announced via a web stream produced by NATAS.
