[Jay Wise]

Please excuse the cross-posting.  This email has been sent to multiple
lists.  Thanks!

Do you know teens or young adults who might be the next YouTube sensation?
Have you spotted the next Steven Spielberg?  Would you be able to encourage
your favorite drama kings and queens to star in their own short film or
music video?

If you do, there is a fantastic new film and video contest for teens and
young adults -- “Stories on Film,” the Teen and Young Adult Film Festival
portion of the Southern Ohio Storytelling Arts and Music Festival.

“Stories on Film” will give away one $50.00 cash prize to the film or video
chosen as “Best in Show,” along with three $25.00 cash prizes for First
Place winners in three different divisions: Younger Teen (for ages 12-15);
Older Teen (ages 16-19); and Young Adult (ages 20-23).

Films judged as outstanding will be screened publicly as part of the 2009
Southern Ohio Storytelling Arts and Music Festival, September 11 and 12,
2009, in historic Chillicothe, Ohio.

All we need are family-friendly films and videos up to ten minutes long.
The films can be posted online at youtube.com or burned to DVD and mailed
to:

Chillicothe & Ross County Public Library
Northside Branch, ATTN: Jay Wise
550 Buckeye St.
