Film Competition Guidelines
The California Baptist University Film Competition is an annual event co-sponsored by ASCBU and the CBU Marketing and Communication division. The event seeks to showcase the innovative and creative work of CBU students through the outlet of film and video production. Participants will submit a film qualifying in the three-minute to five-minute length category. Submissions should follow the given theme of the event and represent work that the participant would be proud to show to an audience, as the film will be showcased in a public festival-style viewing. Submitted films may be used for CBU marketing and promotional purposes. To qualify, submissions must abide by the CBU code of conduct as well as the guidelines outlined in this document.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR: Creativity. The theme is “Behind the Kugel”, so give us an inside view of life as you know it at California Baptist University.
