Procedures
All entries, from conception to final product, must be written or developed by the students entering the project. Entries must be packaged in a way that they can be easily submitted via a link on the school entry form. Both the project and the program required to run it must be included in the entry. Operational procedures must be included on the entry form and explained to your Media Specialist.
Coding entries often require specific software. If your program will not run without the software, the student must include a screen recording or screenshots showcasing what the code is intended to do. For example, students can screen record on their iPad, upload the file to OneDrive, generate a link and copy/paste the link in with their coding information to https://wcpsmediaexpo.com .
Judging Criteria

Will anyone care about the content of your program? Is the subject or idea big enough to sustain the entire program? Is the use or message clear?
Content Suitable to Audience
Will anyone care about the content of your program? Is the subject or idea big enough to sustain the entire program? Is the use or message clear?
Creativity/Originality
Create a computer program that clearly shows that you are using the program or code in interesting ways. This may include using content or code that is widely available, but not always used. This may also mean that the student has combined content and/or code in a way that is interesting or different.
Organization/Structure
Show evidence of planning and choice through all parts of your project as you focus on achieving the program's purpose. Show that the information or story is paced and developed in a way that keeps viewers interested and helps them understand your meaning.
Overall Effectiveness/Presentation
Does your program heighten viewer attention and interest? When the program is over, does it leave a meaning with the viewer? Does it grab the viewer’s attention?
Appropriate Design Techniques/Resources
Judges will be looking for complexity of code, creativity, originality, and presence of multiple levels.
