Terence Awards for Excellence in Classics Student Filmmaking: Call for Submissions
I am pleased to announce the second annual Terence Awards. These cash awards and prizes will be given to those junior high, high school, and university students whose videos convey Classics in a way that is informative, entertaining, or both. Please read on for details:
Prizes
Cash prizes and free books will be awarded to the winning filmmaker or team in the following categories:
1 Best Picture, Junior Prize (junior high, high school, or homeschool student(s) ages 11–18 at the time the film was created)
1 Best Picture, Senior Prize (college or university students aged 18+ at the time the film was created)
1 Best Foreign Film Prize (all levels, students who are non-US citizens living outside of the United States and its Territories at the time the film was created)
The Best Picture and Best Foreign Film prizes recognize excellence in student filmmaking which include exceptional creativity, superb writing, acting, and production of a movie with Classical themes including, but not limited to history, mythology, and/or culture. Movies may be set in any time period (past, present, future, or a combination thereof) and can be live-action, animated (including machinima), or a mix of live action and animation. The use of Latin and/or Greek is encouraged, but not required. Subtitles may be used.
1 Best Use of Latin in a Film Prize (all levels, Classical, Medieval, Vulgate, etc.)
1 Best Use of Greek in a Film Prize (all levels, Homeric, Classical, or Koine)
The Best Use of Latin/Greek prizes celebrate excellence and creativity in the integration of Latin and/or Greek into a student-created film. To be eligible for these prizes, the films must contain Latin/Greek subtitles and/or Latin/Greek spoken dialogue or narration.
A single film can win both a Best Picture prize and a Best Use of Latin/Greek prize. The Best Foreign Film prize-winner is also eligible to win Best Picture (Junior) or Best Picture (Senior).
Winners will also have their videos featured on the eClassics homepage (eclassics.ning.com) for one month, and will be designated as a Terence Award-winner for all time.
Special thanks to Excellence Through Classics (ETC) for a grant to fund cash prizes for the Best Picture winners (both Junior and Senior) and Best Foreign Film. Winners of Best Use of Latin/Greek will receive vouchers for free books from Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers.
Winners will be announced at the American Classical League Summer Institute on June 27, 2010, and will be simultaneously posted on eClassics and on various Classics discussion lists.
Winners will be paid either by check or EFT, or can have their winnings payable to their school's Latin Club, JCL, or NJCL chapter. Winners of the book vouchers will receive a special code for use with online purchases at www.bolchazy.com.
