Calling Young Film Makers!

CPF Short Film Competition for Bay Area Middle and High School Students

The California Preservation Foundation is seeking entries for its 2012 Short Film Competition.  The contest is open to all Bay Area middle and high school students and seeks to create a fun, educational and creative opportunity to engage youth in local preservation issues.  Winners will receive prizes as well as recognition at this year’s CPF conference in Oakland coming up this May.
Themes for the 6-minute films should explore preservation and tie in with the Conference theme “Old Roots, New Growth.”
With the contest focused on the Bay Area this year, AAPS would love to see our local students well represented in exploring these themes from an Alameda perspective.  We are offering resources to Alameda contestants as well as additional awards to Alameda winners, and are reaching out to local schools to help spread the word.

A full description of the competition along with suggested film topics, submission requirements and links to last year’s winning films can be found at CPF Film Competition .

If you are an Alameda student planning on entering the contest, please let us know by emailing us using the form below:
