Any Film Maker, of any level of experience. This is not limited to Nevada residents though you must be present at the pre-production party to draw a topic and deliver your final 30-sec. PSA during the Sunday deadline.
Who can be a sponsor?
In order to participate as a sponsor, your group must be a Nevada registered non-profit organization. You will be required to supply the film making teams chosen to create 30-sec. spots for your topic or topics with a valid tax deductible donation receipt. Your PSA topic will be of your choosing and your organization will be given the limited use rights to the 30-sec. commercials made for your group.
