Special Events: Online (One-time Events)
Entries should be a single online event, such as student/parent orientation, inaugurations, or student activities, designed to engage a targeted or general audience. The event can have an internal or external audience. While the event may have an in-person component, the primary focus should have been on the online audience.
Judges will not review entire recordings of the online events, so they will rely on your written description of the concept, strategies and outcomes that made the events successful. Feel free to provide screenshots or very brief recorded clips that highlight key aspects of the events.
For example:
Campaign celebrations
Memorial services
Building dedications

A livestream of an event that had no other engagement components.
