Local First Alliance hosted the 5th annual Upper Valley High School Communications Competition with the Hartford Area Career and Technology Center’s (HAC&TC) Media Arts class this spring. As part of the student’s culminating project, the class designed a marketing campaign promoting Local First Alliance, and specifically the value locally owned businesses bring to our community.
The campaign includes print, radio, and video pieces. The project is a good exercise that could prepare the students for a career in media arts while the quality finished pieces are a wonderful addition to their portfolios. This year’s class included: Elise Boyle, Will Higgins, Austin Lemere, Odin Mattern, Jack Beaty, Ali Davis, Madison Hunt, and Savannah Meeker.
Congratulations to the winners!
