Celebrating Student Creativity: Highlights from the 15th Annual ABC DVA 2025!

The screens lit up and the creativity flowed on Thursday, 29th, 2025, as ABC School proudly hosted our 15th annual Digital Video Awards (DVA)! This milestone event is a cornerstone of our school calendar, dedicated to celebrating and spotlighting the incredible excellence in student digital video work from across our primary and secondary schools.

For fifteen years, the DVA has provided a platform for our talented students to showcase their skills in filmmaking, animation, storytelling, and technical production. This year was no exception, with students from both primary and secondary levels submitting an impressive array of projects.

The competition was fierce as students vied for recognition in a wide range of categories, including:

• Best Animation

• Best English/Design IDU

• Best Advertisement

• Best Short Film

• Best Documentary

• Best Minecraft Walkthrough

• Best Director

• Movie of the Year

The DVA committee would like to extend our sincerest congratulations to all of the students who were nominated for an award this year. The standard of entries was incredibly high, and simply making it onto the nomination list is a testament to your hard work, creativity, and skill. Everyone who was nominated is truly a winner!

The top prizes for many categories were decided by enthusiastic voting from the ABC community, highlighting the videos that resonated most with our audience.

Two special awards, however, were the final picks of the ABC Committee: the VHS Best Director Award—named in honour of Victor Hugo Salazar, an outstanding ex-student and director—celebrating exceptional directorial vision, and the award for Best Minecraft Walkthrough, recognizing creative and engaging gameplay footage.

Congratulations again to all the nominated students and to the talented winners who took home the top honours! Your dedication to crafting compelling digital stories is inspiring

The 15th Annual ABC DVA was a fantastic celebration of student talent and creativity. We are immensely proud of all the participants and look forward to seeing the amazing digital video projects our students will create next year for the 16th DVA!

A big thank you goes out to Profe Alvin Silva for being such a wonderful MC and Profe Rodrigo Alfaro for producing the show.
