We are very excited to be hosting our First (hopefully) Annual Step Up Speak Out Youth Video Contest!

Entries are due October 2nd and we will have our Reception in Lincoln, NE on October 15th where we will screen the entries, announce winners, and give out prizes.

All Nebraska youth from age 12 to age 17 are invited to submit videos either Individually or in Groups that fit the contest guidelines.

guidelines

Individual Entries:        This category is for filmmakers who prefer to do all the production work themselves. This includes writing, directing, filming and editing. Individual Filmmakers are invited to use other actors and extras; however, these actors and extras must not participate in any of the production work beyond basic advice.

Group Entries:              This category is for pairs or trios of filmmakers who prefer to collaborate on the production work. Again, this includes all writing, directing, filming and editing and groups are invited to use other actors and extras. All production work beyond basic advice must be performed by the group members. * * Group size is strictly limited to 2 or 3 members for prize purposes. Any entries with more than three filmmakers will be rejected. * *

Prizes!

We do have some very nice prizes this year! All prizes were selected with the goal of aiding filmmakers in future projects.
