First Person Impressions: A competition for writers, videographers, and photographers

Maggie Saia, of First Person Arts, contacted me this morning to let me know about an upcoming documentary contest called First Person Impressions.

According to the Web site,

First Person Arts transforms the drama of real life into memoir and documentary art to foster appreciation for our unique and shared experience.

Sounds good to me. Plus, the judge for the photography competition is Katherine Ware, curator of photography at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

The competition has three categories: film (up to five minutes), essay (up to 1,500 words), and photography (up to five images). Short ’n’ sweet. The deadline is August 15, 2008.
