The Regional Competition for the Skills Canada BC trade and technology competitions provide parents, teachers, students, labour and government with opportunities to explore skilled trades and technology careers. There are thirteen regions within British Columbia, each hosting their own virtual competition where videos are created within a five hour period that must be planned, filmed and edited based on a specific phrase or theme.
The purpose of this challenge is to evaluate the student's proficiency in the television/video production field.
