2020 Golden Acorn Awards

Selected student work from MDOCS' annual showcase

The MDOCS Golden Acorn Awards celebrates student creation throughout each year in Documentary Studies courses and around campus. Special for this year, we also highlighted unique creative responses to the limitations of the pandemic. We accept self-submissions of independent media work from any and all Skidmore students, as well as faculty nominations of extraordinary student projects coming out of Doc Studies courses.
