    Calling all filmmakers in Crittenden, DeSoto, Fayette, Shelby or Tipton counties: With a nod to the likes of American Idol and Dancing with the Stars, and to do our part for the thriving indie film scene in Memphis, ArtsMemphis hereby announces that we are sponsoring a web-based film contest for our budding local filmmakers. The award for first prize will be $2,000; second prize will be $750; and third prize, $500. The contest will run from January 15 through February 29, 2008. You are invited to create a film which showcases a particular aspect of the lively Memphis arts scene. The specific subject matter is up to you, but the film must be only five minutes (or less) in length. Then officially register your film in a dedicated space on our website at www.artsmemphis.org for a nominal donation to ArtsMemphis of $15. Please note that you must be a resident of Crittenden, DeSoto, Fayette, Shelby or Tipton counties to enter the contest. After the deadline, an expert panel will narrow the field down to what they consider to be the 15 best film entries. These will be announced on our website, at which point the public will view these films on-line and register their votes for the top five. The public will then be asked to vote one last time-- for their top three choices. At the end of the contest, ArtsMemphis will host an awards ceremony and gala party at Malco's Studio on the Square to screen the top five films and, based on the peoples' choices, will announce the three prize-winning films. Get out your cameras and enter this exciting film contest. You could be the big winner! Photo of Kentucker Audley aka Andrew Nenninger, Filmmaker courtesy of Bob Bayne

  • About ArtsMemphis

    • ArtsMemphis logo

      Known around the world for its blues and rock and roll, Memphis has a recognizable special vibe. ArtsMemphis exists to nurture this unique character and to magnify the city’s creative voice. We are a 45-year-old arts funding organization (the sixth largest in the United States), which provides annual operating and project support to 23 arts groups and administers some 150 additional grants on a year to year basis. The ArtsMemphis tagline is “your support matters” and indeed it does. As major fundraisers, grant-makers and arts promoters in the city, ArtsMemphis contributed more than $4 million to the Memphis arts community in 2007, and it is a fact that 95 cents of every dollar raised in our annual campaign is directed to our funded organizations. ArtsMemphis builds partnerships among artists, arts groups, donors, educators and culture lovers throughout the city and region. Recognizing that a lively arts scene has a major economic impact and is essential to the quality of life in Memphis, ArtsMemphis is encouraging the entire community to interact with the arts like never before. The current enhanced website with its expanded calendar of events has been introduced with that goal in mind.
