I’m excited to share with you the 3rd Annual “One Earth … Our Earth!” Young Filmmakers Contest part of the One Earth Film Festival.

This contest is open to students, grades 3 – college who submit short films focusing on one (or a couple) of topics pertaining to sustainability. .Visit the Young Filmmakers Contest webpage for details and judging criteria. Winners in each age category will win a cash prize and matching grant, digital hosting of their film, and a world premier screening of their film at the 4th Annual One Earth Film Festival – March 6-8, 2015.

As a leader at Irving Elementary School, I’m hoping you can help us share this opportunity with students, teachers and parents! If you would be willing to forward the attached digital flier to anyone in your organization or school that you think might be interested, this would be tremendously helpful in opening this contest up to as many kids as possible!

To assist children (and parents) who want to hone their filmmaking skills, we will be hosting free workshops. Space is limited.  Full enrollments details for the workshops will be posted on our website – oneearthfilmfest.org. If you’re interested in receiving workshop information by e-mail or reserving space for a group of children from your school, please let me know ASAP  Additionally, I would be happy to send a representative to your school to talk to faculty, PTO or green-team about the contest.

Please note that all entries for this year’s Young Filmmakers Contest are due January 18, 2015.  For more information about this contest and the most up to date Film Festival news please visit OneEarthFilmFest.org.

Thank you!
