Attention Filmmakers
July 29th, 2010Opportunity
Fellow filmmakers, the 1st Annual Sikh Coalition’s Diversity Video Competition is accepting applications now. You could have a chance of winning $1,000, a free round trip ticket to New York City (if you live in the U.S.), and 2 passes to the Sikh Art and Film Festival. Your film will also be premiered at this popular New York film festival in October.
Information
The purpose of the Competition is to provide a space to engage in an artistic dialogue on civil rights issues, stereotypes, and myths surrounding minority groups with a particular anchor in the Sikh experience. It is through this dialogue that we hope to dissolve ignorance and spread awareness of discriminated minorities.
Requirements
All submissions should be received on August 15, 2010.Please visit http://www.sikhcoalition.org/Video_Competition.asp to read more. There you will find instructions, an application form, judging criteria, rules, and submission guidelines. You will also be able to read more about the 2 judging phases:
1) All videos will be reviewed by an expert judges’ panel and narrowed down to the top two.
2) Then, the 1st place winner will be determined by a popular vote.
