Crew Guidelines

1. Your project can be completed by a team which can include, but is not limited to, a director, a producer, one or more writers, camera crew, actors, technical crew, (lighting, etc.), and post-production, (editing). While there can be more than one person involved in the project, we ask that the student taking the role of director fit into the age specifications above. This person will send us the finished product, will take responsibility for the project, and will be the individual awarded at the end of the contest. A single cash prize (see prizes below) will be awarded to each winning entry regardless of the number of individuals who participated in the entry/project. We will not offer cash prizes for every individual involved in the winning projects.
2. Up to two entries per person or team will be allowed.
