                <hr /><p>The New York Festivals<sup>®</sup> International Television &amp; Film Awards recognize "The World's Best Work" in news, sports, documentary, information and entertainment programming as well as in music videos, infomercials, promotion spots, openings and ID's.</p>
<p>Now entering its 54th year, the total number of entries continues to grow, now representing over 35 different countries, making the NYF<sup>®</sup> Television &amp; Film Awards one of the most well known and widely respected competitions on the globe. In 2010, NYF<sup>®</sup> combined both the Television Programming Awards and the Film &amp; Video Awards, thus creating one of the world's largest international competitions dedicated to both the TV and film industries.</p>
<p>New categories mirror today's trends in world-wide programming and encourage the next generation of story-tellers.<br />
<span id="more-998"></span></p>
<h3 id="objective">Objective</h3>
<p>Submit TV program or film entries in the official categories.</p>
<p>Select the category that most closely relates to your submission's type of program, primary purpose or target audience. You may enter the same production or program in multiple categories, including program categories and technique categories.</p>
<p>Individual entries are evaluated for their intrinsic merits – without comparing them with others. Each entry is, in effect, in competition with itself, and is measured by our online jury of experts using an industry-accepted standard of excellence.</p>
<p>The categories for Television &amp; Film are divided into two main groups:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Submissions which are distributed/transmitted</strong>: News Programs, News Reports/Features, Entertainment Programs, Entertainment Specials, Promotions, Station IDs, Opens, Documentaries, Music Videos, Online Programs, Student productions/webisodes and categories for arts/techniques.</li>
<li><strong>Submissions which are exhibited/screened</strong>: Feature Films, Documentary Films, Short Films, Industrial Productions, Corporate Presentations, Business Theater, Event Venue Productions, Home Videos, Education/Information Productions, and categories for crafts/techniques.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="prizes">Prizes</h3>
<p>Grand, Gold, Silver, and Bronze winners will be announced at an awards ceremony held in New York in March 2011.</p>
<p>New York Festivals<sup>®</sup> winners may refer in advertising and publicity to the fact that they are a New York Festivals® winner and, for one year after the award was bestowed may use a replica of the New York Festivals<sup>®</sup> medal or the New York Festivals<sup>®</sup> logo in such advertising. A ® registration mark must accompany the use of the image.</p>
<h3 id="rules">Rules</h3>
<ul>
<li>To be eligible for the 2011 competition, entries must have been first produced, released, exhibited, screened, aired or shown online between 1 September 2009 and 1 October 2010, the final deadline.</li>

                <hr /><p>All young and creative-minded Europeans (EU or non-EU residents) aged 18 - 35 will be eagerly welcomed to express themselves and share ideas on the topic of multilingualism through short films. Participants can now upload their works onto an interactive web platform, where the public will be able to view, comment and vote on them.</p>
<p>Submit your short about multilingualism to win your place aboard Polyglot, an itinerant filmmaking event travelling across the archipelago of Turku, Finland!<br />
<span id="more-980"></span></p>
<h3 id="introduction">Introduction</h3>
<p><strong>Multilingualism</strong>. Even the word itself is hard to pronounce in a hurry without getting tonguetied. In the EU alone there are 23 languages – not including the myriad of non-official languages and dialects. Let's face it; navigating within an enormous tower of babble can represent a logistical nightmare. Yet linguistic diversity is also a great strength, because it reflects an infinitely rich cultural landscape.</p>
<p>Of course languages are living organisms, constantly evolving – sometimes even against efforts to control wordplay. The international dominance of English and the political status of minority languages are just a few of the topics currently heating up debate, just as Europeans are becoming increasingly mobile for travel, work, life and love. And the young “Eurogeneration” is facing new linguistic challenges head on, finding ways to break down borders in communication whilst preserving their own identities. In other words, being a polyglot is in some way the norm.</p>
<h3 id="objective">Objective</h3>
<p>Submit video entries in the following two categories:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Video Portraits</strong> (Documentaries on My multilingualism) - Do you speak different languages on a regular basis? Describe the linguistic environment you live in, and how it affects you personally.</li>
<li><strong>Video Poems</strong> (Fictions on The language I dream in) - Use the audiovisual medium to its full artistic potential. Share with us your most original and creative ideas about language.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="prizes">Prizes</h3>
<p>18 winning videos will be selected by online voters, alongside a special jury (to be announced). The selected young filmmakers will then be invited to participate in a 2-week “Cine-Boat” documentary filmmaking workshop in June 2011, during which they will explore the archipelago of Turku and Åland Islands by boat and make six films in groups on the theme of multilingualism, guided by professional tutors. This region has a particular linguistic context, as it is home to communities of Swedish Finns with their own distinct identity.</p>
<p>The filmmakers will then present their work to the local public during a 2-day film festival in the city of Turku. All short films of the project will later be diffused through a DVD compilation and further screenings across Europe!</p>
<h3 id="rules">Rules</h3>
<ul>
<li>Contestants must be resident in a European country (EU or non-EU) and aged 18 - 35.</li>
<li>Works of maximum 5 minutes length, produced since 1 January 2008 are eligible.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="how_to">How to enter?</h3>
<p>Applying is a two-step process which consists of uploading your clip to Vimeo and then filling in the online application form.</p>
<ol>
<li>Upload your video to <a href="http://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a> and join the <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/groups/polyglot">contest's group</a> on Vimeo.</li>
<li>Fill out the <a href="http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dEMtNl8zLUxEa0hITDJpaXEwYXVvX1E6MQ">application form</a>.</li>
