West Philadelphia Resident Dylan Yachyshen
Wins Whyy Youth Media
Award For Video Production Dylan Yachyshen, a West Philadelphia resident and _7th- grade student at Penn Alexander School of Philadelphia won 2nd place in the “Documentary/News Report: Middle School” category with his piece “Volunteerism in America” at the inaugural WHYY Youth Media Awards competition Oct. 13 at WHYY’s Dorrance H. Hamilton Public Media Commons. Yachyshen was among 17 Greater Philadelphia student fi - nalists who were each awarded fi rst-, second- and third-place honors in six categories. The students received statuettes. “It was really exciting and fun and I liked seeing all the good videos” he said. More than 150 students in grades six to 12 submitted en-
tries. The awards competition was designed to bring young producers together so they can communicate, help develop their skills and form a community of young artists, said Craig Santoro, director of media instruction at Hamilton Commons. “The success of the awards competition far exceeded our expectations,” he said. “The quality of the work submitted was well beyond anything we hoped to see. It was really great to be able to honor these young people for their hard work and talent.” Hamilton Commons offers high school students opportuni- ties to learn multimedia production skills through WHYY’s Afterschool Program, Young Journalists Summer Camp and The WHYY Film Academy.
