FRESH FILM NORTHWEST 2016 GUIDELINES Entry form on following page. SUBMISSION DEADLINE: August 27th, 2016 SUBMISSION IS FREE. ABOUT FRESH FILM NORTHWEST Fresh Film Northwest is an annual opportunity for Northwest youth filmmakers, ages 13-19, to have their work viewed by professional media artists and presented to the public. We hope the Festival encourages young people to use media to creatively express personal concerns, explore important social issues and share engaging stories about the world today. Entries selected by a jury of professional northwest filmmakers will be shown at an awards ceremony as part of the Northwest Filmmakers’ Festival in the Film Center’s Whitsell Auditorium, 1219 SW Park Ave, Portland, Oregon and distributed online for year-round, international audiences. Fresh Film Northwest 2016 will mark its 40th year! RULES & ELIGIBILITY Any young filmmaker between the ages of 13 and 19 living in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Alaska, or Montana may enter a film in any theme or style made after September 1, 2014. Group projects as well as individual works are acceptable. All entries must be student produced. We cannot accept work that includes copyrighted music. Adult guidance and instruction is permissible, but the primary hands-on creative work and point-of-view must be by a student(s). There is NO entry fee. Additional information is available by visiting the Film Center website – www.nwfilm.org. JURY PROCESS A jury panel of media professionals and educators will select entries for recognition in three categories: Creative Self-Expression, Heart, and Integrative Learning. All entries will be considered for all three categories.
