CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS! ENTER NOW THROUGH DECEMBER 14, 2017
Ventura Water presents Water: Take 1, an exciting and important initiative that highlights our relationship with Water: How we look at it, how we use it and how we share it.
Water: Take 1 presents the best water-themed short films – narrative, documentary, comedy, drama, animation, live action – to a distinguished jury made up of leaders in water and environmental issues, entertainment professionals and influential members of the community.
Bringing together leading experts in the fields of water efficiency, recycling and resource management with partners in online entertainment media production and distribution, Water: Take 1 serves as a mechanism to engage media savvy viewers in the creation of a social network of online content to extend the national reach of Ventura Water and its message.
And our message is simple: Imagine a world where every type of water is paired with a right use, restoring the water cycle to a sustainable cycle. Rain is captured and/or infiltrated into the ground for later use. Water used indoors has a second life as greywater. Reclaimed water is recycled in ways that benefit our world, bringing the water cycle full circle. Water lives in an integrated world and so must we.
Film submissions are now being accepted! At the close of our published final deadline, 11:59 pm (PST), December 14, 2016, ten finalists will be selected by our programmers and presented to the jury for the grand prize award of $1500.00
The jury will also vote on a Best Student Short Film, the winner to receive a GoPro camera.
The Water: Take 1 Audience Choice Award is voted on by the public and the film with the most views wins an IPad 2 (16 GB, WiFi only.) The Audience Choice Award voting remains open for four weeks following the final deadline so votes still count. The earlier you submit your film, the more time your project has to gather votes and win!
The Ventura Vision Award, sponsored by the Crowne Plaza Ventura Beach, awards films shot in and around the City of Ventura a prize consisting of $500 and new this year, the Palmdale Vision Award will also win $500.
