Judge Comment: - Captions could use more context. Perhaps your immediate audience knew it was senior night, but for anyone looking at your Instagram page or post, they might not know.
- Some of these feed posts would be better as Instagram story posts. They encompass the night but are tied together in a way that’s easier for the audience to understand and engage with. (Even some of the videos would have been good to share individually on X (Twitter). Instagram’s longevity makes it more difficult to share updates in real time, except through Stories, because it’s not guaranteed that the platform will show your posts to your audience in the order you share them in.
- The press conference video needs to be cut — it shouldn’t play until the person starts talking. It’s too much dead “air” time before that. Typical video drop off time is like 6 seconds or something like that.

Judge Comment: - Great student-centered content. The video framing could be tighter on the students during the Q&As.
- Technically didn’t follow the prompt of the category, which is “one post, or multiple posts related to the same subject matter posted within the same week.”
