All entries must be filmed in the Hudson River Valley (Manhattan northward to the cities of Albany and Troy). Winners will see their work reach a wide audience. The winning videos will be featured on YouTube, at www.scenichudson.org and with 17,000 Scenic Hudson members who keep connected with Scenic Hudson via e-mail. Online viewing of the winning short videos will be promoted further through newsletters and other publications.
Here is Scenic Hudson to explain the rest of it:
Videographers and filmmakers age 10 and older are invited to submit works (not longer than 90 seconds) to Scenic Hudson’s video competition. Entries must be received by Tuesday, June 30, 2009. Visit www.scenichudson.org/videocontest for more details.
Theme of the contest
The goal of the competition is to find innovative, creative and personal expressions of why contestants love the Hudson River Valley. The short videos should highlight distinct places – including Scenic Hudson parks up and down the Hudson – as well as the unique personalities and hidden gems that make the region a great place to live, work and have fun.
