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
