For ages up to 18, submissions for the Digital and Video Storytelling Contest are accepted from October 1, 2013 to July 30, 2014.  We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.  Mailing Address:  P.O. Box 1929, Frazier Park, CA 93225-1929

Submission Rules

Application Form

You may win a $200 cash grant award!  (See Grant agreement.)

The theme is  social issue topics, such as ecology, justice, peace, equality, crime prevention, freedom of speech, etc. We are seeking stories about humankind’s relationship with nature and each other, either positive or negative, to bring awareness of our ecological and social challenges. We encourage you to work in collaboration with other youth--perhaps one or more creating the dialogue and others providing the art work.

To clarify some confusion over the "donation" request: As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charity, we are always seeking donations. However, there is not an entry fee for this competition. Donations are voluntary. All submissions are accepted without donations.

If you are submitting by mail, checks are accepted.
