All Entries Must Be Postmarked on or Before April 10, 2009

Postmark by March 10 = $15 / After March 10 = $20

Action/Drama (5-10 minutes)

Original fiction-based narrative short film, 5 to 10 minutes in length. Judging criteria places emphasis on technical and artistic aesthetics as well as quality of on-camera performances.

Comedy (3-15 minutes)

Almost anything you think is funny could work here. Generally speaking this type of entry tends to be a short narrative, but mockumentaries and other parodies work here too.
Technical and aesthetic quality still matter heavily, but can you make us laugh until a Junior Mint shoots out our nose?

PSA / Documentary (2-7 Minutes)

Must be intended to call attention to and/or announce a legitimate community event, concern, or issue.
Music Video (2-4 minutes)

Music Videos should include all original footage.
The song will not be judged. It is your interpratation of the song that truly matters.

Animated / Experimental Short (1-3 minutes)

This is by far the most wide-open category. Convention and conformity is strictly optional.

Make us think, make us scratch our heads, challenge us!
