Educational Resource Library

GSCA is creating an online educational resource library on our website, and we would like to include programs that have been submitted for awards consideration. The library is behind a member login, and we would include a summary of the program, as well as some of the visuals and examples you may provide. Do you give us permission to include your campaign in the library? Inclusion in the library is completely voluntary and in no way affects awards consideration.

Permission to include in library*

Items to Submit

We encourage you to submit supplemental materials such as:

• scans or PDFs of program syllabi, activity guides, program documentation
• advertising and media coverage of the program as .mp3 or .mp4 files
• links to YouTube videos or web pages dedicated to the program
• unsolicited letters from teachers or educators who used the program
• event photos as .jpg files

All items should be saved in a single folder with your organization in the folder name so we can match the items with your submission. Please send via HighTail.com or a file sharing application of your choice to kelly@giantscreencinema.com, or contact Kelly for instructions on how to upload files to GSCA's Dropbox account.
