Directions for Entering

Teachers submit entries. All communication will be sent to the teacher responsible for the entry.
Avoid submitting multiple similar entries! If you have several examples of the same project or assignment completed by different groups of students, only select your best example for submission.
There are two versions of the entry form--one for Video Entries and one for Multimedia Entries. Use the appropriate form and enter a project only once.
Entries will not be returned, so be sure to keep a complete copy of your project.
With the exception of entries viewable on the web, all entries must be submitted in digital form (CD, DVD, USB flash drive).
Entries must be received at the appropriate judging site by the close of business on the deadline day.
Entries must represent work that was completed after April 15 of the previous year.
While all submissions are entered online, the entries themselves need to be mailed to the judging sites directly.
Upon clicking "Submit," you will receive the Certification Page. This page must be printed and signed by the teacher and the school principal. It also includes directions about how and where to send your entry.

Video Division
The Video Division includes two types of projects:

Live Action – The Live Action production type includes full motion productions that generally have on-screen talent in the form of actors, instructors, hosts, or narrators. Often, a computer will be used for titles, credits, overlays, and editing. Media accepted are CD or DVD. Cell phone videos fit into this division.
Animation – An Animation includes drawn images, clay models, and/or real-life models that are animated to create the illusion of movement. If a piece integrates live action and animation, it falls under the animation production type. Famous examples of integrated animation are the 1945 Gene Kelly film, Anchors Aweigh and 1988’s Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Media accepted are CD or DVD.

Multimedia Division
The Multimedia Division includes three types of projects:

Sequential Stills – A Sequential Stills production is a series of images with text, music, video clips and/or narration added. The order that the stills are viewed is fixed by the producer. Often, sequential stills pieces are created in slideshow software like Microsoft PowerPoint. Media accepted are CD or DVD.
Interactive Stills – An Interactive Stills production includes images that are viewed in an order chosen by the viewer. Interactive Stills use navigation buttons and/or menus to enable the viewer to select a path. Text, music, video clips and narration may be incorporated into an Interactive Stills production. Media accepted is CD.
Website – A website is similar to an Interactive Stills however, it must be available on the Internet until November of the festival year. No media will be required but a website address URL must be provided.
