Undergraduate and Graduate Students in Production are especially welcome to apply. You do not have to be an experienced Producer to submit materials. That said, your video must be thoughtfully crafted and show at minimum a fundamental knowledge of professional producing. It does not have to be a final cut. though it should be at a point in the producing process where productive and thoughtful feedback can be given to you. (i.e. 1st professional cut and beyond).

Just a reminder that you must be at least 18 years of age to submit material for feedback!
