Princeton Public Library is accepting entries for its Princeton Environmental Film Festival short video contest.
This contest, open to teens and young adults ages 12 to 24, seeks videos that focus on sustainability, its related topics and the lives of the filmmakers.
Videos can be serious, thoughtful or comic, and will be judged on their creativity and originality. They should be no longer than three minutes.
The judges will be members of the PEFF Committee and student GreenLeaders from Princeton University.
Selected videos will be showcased at the PEFF and one grand prize winner will receive a GoPro Camera.
The deadline for the contest is set for Dec. 5. Filmmakers are scheduled to be be notified if their videos have been selected by Dec. 13.
Selected videos will be screened at the PEFF, scheduled for Feb. 8. The screening will be followed by a reception. All PEFF events are free and open to the public.
Students can upload their submission on YouTube or Vimeo and send the link to princetonlibrary.org/PEFFshorts.
PEFF is sponsored by the Princeton Public Library and is held annually in the winter at 65 Witherspoon St. with special events throughout the year. Founded in 2006, the PEFF’s mission is to share exceptional documentary films and engage our community in exploring environmental sustainability from a wide range of angles and perspectives.
