What should I bring to the event?

Your kit should include camera, batteries, microphone, headphones and tripod. Learn what to bring with this video from SEVA TV’s Naya.

What should I wear to the event?

Who will be responsible for my student at the event?

Each student will need a chaperone or teacher to be responsible for them during the entire event. Please make sure to have a plan before the start of the event. SECC and SEVAFest partners are not responsible for students at the event.

Do I need to sign a release form?
