Registration Open until February 19, 2010

Students who register for the contest earn the opportunity to not only submit films based on one of our many Categories, but also the ability to vote for a winner. However, please note that by registering the student is not committing to creating a video, but they will have a part to play in deciding who wins! They cannot vote if they don't register.

The sponsoring teacher or counselor with the most student film entries in Track One: Young Filmmakers "Doing Good", will win a 1000 Individual Cash Prize and the school with the most student film entries in Track One: Young Filmmakers "Doing Good" will also win a 1000 School Cash Prize.

The students that creates the winning videos in each track will win 200 and the Grand Prize is a trip to the South by South West Film Festival in Austin, Texas.

Please note that students CAN submit videos they created as far back as 2007, OR they can create new ones that fit the contest criteria. Also, on our Young Minds Digital Times site, we host a filmmaker's blog where we feature tips and best practices on do-it-yourself filmmaking: perfect for classroom instruction!

We are looking forward to an excellent competition!
