education and exhibition. If finances allow, the Committee will send filmmakers <br /> who won awards last year into area schools to work with children in <br /> understanding the basics of both narrative and documentary film. The committee <br /> will interact with college and university programs in our community to encourage <br /> college students to take the "plunge" into the world of festivals. We have already <br /> reached out to all Universities, colleges, public schools (K-12) calling for entries <br /> so that students have the summer to create a film. <br /> Judging is a two-step process, with the Film Festival Committee members <br /> narrowing down the entrants to pick finalists in each category. There is a blue <br /> ribbon judging panel made up of local area experts in the film industry who will <br /> select the final award winners. Winners are awarded the coveted & beautiful <br /> statues created by Carrboro's own sculptor Mike Roig as well as a few cash <br /> prizes. <br />
