Kwantlen Voter-Funded Media Contest

The Kwantlen (University College) Student Association considered a VFM Contest in 2007-2008, with media awards allocated by student voters. VoterMedia.org founder Mark Latham offered to sponsor it. However, the KSA has shelved the idea at this point, because while some student reps were in favour, others were opposed. It may be considered again in future.
