ATTENTION all next generation of TV Hosts, Journalists, Photographers & Media Gurus. The MANHATTAN SHORT Journalism & Multimedia Competition deadline to register is September 15th 2011. 
Thank you to those in Australia, Poland, England and St Petersburg , Russia who have already sent in Applications. We regret to inform you that this particular Competition is restricted to the USA for its first year of operation. However, we will be expanding it to the rest of the world in 2012, and that is going to be electric, so please consider resubmitting your applications in the coming year.
For those of you finding out about this competition for the first time. 
Here's how the competition works: We select MEDIA TEAMS. Each Team must contain four elements:
1: A Social Media Producer
2: TV Reporter / Host / Hostess
3: A Journalist / Team Writer
4: Cameraman / Photographer
Each Media Team around the country are given an Online-Media Channel click here to see a template: Their Assignment: Report on MANHATTAN SHORT in their own town. Each Media Team will receive access to interview some of the filmmakers as well as staff at MANHATTAN SHORT.
Judging categories include Best Print Review (200-250 words); Best 3 Minute Video Interviews. ( What did people vote for and why etc.)Best Photo and Best Social Media Producer (One that ignites online-debate with their audience and markets the media channel on other networks such as FaceBook, Twitter etc).
The competition will be judged by a panel of New York Print, broadcast and social media journalists and producers. The judges slated to participate are those we hope will be hiring you in years to come.
With ONE event taking place in over 200 locations the opportunity to put together a competition for the next generation of Journalists and Media Stars in conjunction with the Film Festival was just such a great idea, we had to make happen.
