They don’t have to be Oscar winning standard – they just need to be put together with passion and whatever technical skills you have available to you. There are several categories: Person Profile, Culture, Nature/Environment, Park Riding, and Adventure/Exploration. Registration is free and open from now until film submission deadline March 5. Head over to the event webpage for full registration details and film guidelines.
