One Chicago, One Nation Film Contest Announces Winners
The One Nation, One Chicago film contest is gearing up to announce its winners tomorrow at the Street 2010: Urban International Festival at Millennium Park. Since launching at the beginning of 2010, One Nation, One Chicago strives to represent the 400,000+ population of Muslims in Chicago and bring their culture to a diverse platform. The organization held a film contest earlier this year for "stories bridging the faith and cultural gap" and have narrowed down their submissions to several finalists. One winner will be chosen for each category (comedy, drama, under 60 seconds, documentary, mobile digital media, and music video/spoken word/animation), and one grand prize winner will take home $20,000 -- a very nice sum of money for a young and talented filmmaker.
The pre-awards ceremony begins at 5pm tomorrow, June 17, at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park, 201 E. Randolph. Awards will be presented at 6:30. You can view the finalist before the ceremony at the LinkTV page for OneChicago, which also includes profiles on all of the contest's judges.
