The SCV Media Collaborative and NextGen MediaMakers Festival are a service of SCVTV, a 501c3 nonprofit organization.

The mission of the NextGen MediaMakers Festival is to provide a competitive outlet for students while creating a community around local professionals, businesses and other organizations who are involved in the Santa Clarita Valley media industry. The NextGen MediaMakers Festival aims to establish a support system and network for media professionals, businesses, and other organizations; and provide resources, events, classes and workshops to create a shared knowledge database.

There are two categories of films open to all junior high and high school students: Silent Film and Short Film.

There are three categories of completion open to students participating in school media classes: Feature Story, Public Service Announcements (PSAs) and Broadcast Show. Only schools can submit in the Broadcast category. Public and private junior high and high school entries must be submitted only by the program instructor.
