Kayla Ling, a seventh grader at The Nueva School in Hillsborough, was awarded the Overall Best in Festival for her video “We Have a Climate Crisis — Who’s to Blame?” at the fourth annual 2021 CEC Student Film Fest in San Mateo County on Tuesday.
Ling, a Hillsborough resident, also was the winner of the festival’s Intermediate School Category. She will be a guest on the podcast, “Earth to Humans,” and receive a complimentary pass to the Women in Film San Francisco Bay Area event.
The festival was co-sponsored by the Citizens Environmental Council of Burlingame and the Burlingame Environmental Club of Burlingame High School.

The festival is open to students in grades 4-12 who live or attend school in San Mateo County, who were invited to enter environmental videos of up to five minutes in length. The contest received 22 submissions and CEC awarded cash prizes of $100 to the elementary school winner, $150 to the middle school winner and $350 to the high school winners.
