Selection Criteria:
First and foremost, all films must be family friendly, in keeping with the theme of First Night.
"G" rated films are ideal, "PG" might make the cut- any thing else would not be considered.
Films should be approximately 5 minutes in length. Shorter films are O.K. The longer the films exceed 5 minutes in length, the less likely they will be considered.
Films must be submitted on DVD. The DVD case must be labeled with the following information:
- Name of Film
- Length of Film
- Name of Director
- Address, Phone Number and E-mail of Director
- Name of School
|
Films should be submitted by November 30th. Films can be mailed directly to First Night Escondido, or you can call First Night at 760-420-9701 to arrange delivery.
A selection committee will review each film, and will determine which films are suitable to be previewed at the Film Festival. If your film is selected, it is expected that you will attend the Festival to introduce yourself and your film, and be available for any questions.
All films will be returned to the Directors at the conclusion of the event, or as soon as practical.
All judging will be at the sole discretion of First Night Escondido officials, or their representatives. All judging decisions are final.
At the conclusion of the judging, First Night Escondido will award the following prizes:
$300 and a trophy to the First Place winner.
$150 and a trophy to the Second Place winner.
$100 and a trophy to the Third Place winner.
