The results are in for the 2025 Capital Region Media Arts Festival.
This festival was developed and organized to provide students with a venue to explore and share their creative efforts in the media arts. The collection of artwork is a combined effort of 16 school districts that submitted 180 pieces of artwork and over 60 minutes of film. Every school selected 10 images for Photography and Graphic Design and up to 15 minutes of film.

The work was adjudicated by art professionals including photographers, filmmakers, and graphic designers.
