About a month ago, a friend and I placed second at a state "History Day" competition. (Don't worry if you don't know what that is, I will explain it.) Well, last night, we got to stand up in front of the school board and be recognized for our accomplishments, along with other winners from the same school district. I don't know about you, but I find it extremely refreshing to see people recognized and honored for accomplishments other than athletics.
That's my friend Zach McLeod on the left and I'm the ugly one on the right.

National History Day is [what I guess you could call] an organization that is sponsored by The History Channel. They have competitions for students grades 6-12. There are five different categories to compete in; Exhibit, where students develop kind of like a science fair board with info on their topic; Documentary (the category we competed in), which is where students basically develop a documentary video (think of the things you see on the History Channel) on their topic; Paper, basically where you write a research paper on your category (Ugh!); Performance, which is like where you act out your play; and new this year, the webpage category, where you guessed it, make a website on your topic. Each student can compete individually or in groups of 2-5. For more info, visit their website.

How did you get the footage of the game? Is it on the internet? If not how did you get it? What format did you get it in and did you have to worry about copyright?
