HOW TO ENTER:
Entrants MUST RESIDE IN THE GREATER CINCINNATI OR NORTHERN KENTUCKY AREA. Entries must be submitted online by Friday, February 2, 2024. Each entry must be accompanied with the appropriate fee of $15.00 per entry. A program may be entered in more than one category. The $15.00 fee will be applied for each category entered. There are no discounts for entering a program in multiple categories.
ELIGIBLE ENTRY DIVISIONS:
The YOUTH division is reserved for program producers who are 18 years of age or under. The youth must have participated in a majority of the production (both in-front and behind the camera). Any adult participation MUST be noted.
The NON-PROFESSIONAL division is reserved for those who have earned LESS THAN HALF their annual income from employment in teaching or production of media anytime within the last five years.
The PROFESSIONAL division is required for all others.
Programs produced using both professionals and non-professionals should be entered in the division according to who had the most creative control over the program (i.e. directing, editing, etc.).
NOTE: Entries by professionals, non-professionals and youth will be judged together in categories listed as “Open Categories”.
JUDGING:
Contest judges are at the discretion of the access center judging the category. The same judging panel will evaluate all programs within that category and at the same level. Judges will view three segments of the entry. One from the beginning, one in the middle and one near the end. Exact times and sections are at the discretion of the judging panel. Evaluations by the judges are final.
