Running moviemaking contests is one of our favorite activities. We have found that contests can motivate entrants to create superior work. At the same time, outstanding entries demonstrate techniques that other filmmakers can borrow.

Good contests require good prizes, and we’ve been lucky to receive support from some of the key companies that serve filmmakers. Here, in alphabetical order, is a list of our generous sponsors:
