​The Second Annual Farmington Land Trust Film Contest

Calling All Videographers ages 12-18!  If you live in the original Farmington township (Avon, Berlin, Bristol, Burlington, Farmington, New Britain, Plainville, or Southington), you can enter our 2nd Annual Filmmaker’s Contest. Work alone or as a team to develop a video no longer than three minutes with themes focusing on the natural environment like: 
  • Health Benefits of open space
  • Conservation
  • Recreation
  • Habitat
  • Beauty
Videos must include footage from a Farmington Land Trust property. Accompanying music or dialog must be original or open source. Use of license-protected sources without license will be rejected (e.g. don’t sample popular music tracks). Deadline for all submissions is January 15, 2020. After the deadline, videos will be reviewed by a panel of judges for originality and demonstration of the mission and values of the FLT.  Three top winners will receive cash prizes of $500/$250/$100 to be awarded at a date to be determined in the Spring of 2020.


Submit videos to ed.farmingtonlandtrust@gmail.com as a YouTube link. Entrants should request a delivery receipt on their email submission to assure delivery. Entries must include a completed Video Contest entry form or will not be judged.
