The nonprofit Young Minds Digital Times film contest has
just gone international with students from 27 countries
participating, and registration is now open and ALL students
interested in signing up.

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, a 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
entries in Track One: Young Filmmakers "Doing Good", will
win a $1000 Individual Cash Prize and the school with the
most student 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 also 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. Furthermore, for educators, you can read
our Young Minds Digital Times Blog for ideas to make student
film making easier in the classroom.

You can learn more about the competition and read our blog
through via our website: www.youngmindsdigitaltimes.com

Email info@youngmindsdigitaltimes.com. I would love for all
the students in your school to have to opportunity to
participate in the voting and submit their original work! We
are looking forward to an excellent competition!
