First Festival (SkyFest I) Judging Complete
(April 24) Tropies came yesterday and we are in process of mailing all trophies, checks, and certificates to the 1-2-3 winners in all categories, and certificates to 4th place finishers. THANKS TO ALL WHO PARCIPATED IN SKYFEST I. Watch for the announcement about SkyFest II in a few days!
(April 14) Judging for Skyfest I was scheduled for completion and announcement of results on April 15, 2009 (or even on the 14th, see Winners 2008). We're delighted to announce judging IS complete and results will be announced on April 15th (tomorrow!). There were a LOT of winners. Cash prizes, trophies, certificates, etc. all will go out this month.
Due to the economy and the small (but satisfying) number of entries, we're not having an actual physical event this year (we'll shoot for that next year). As we've often stated, the EMPHASIS on Skyfest IS awards for filmmakers, not a fancy event. All the prize money went into a separate account as it came in, so that's no problem. On top of that, we made enough to buy the trophies and certificates and have the money for postage and pay our Withoutabox fees without having to dig too deeply into our own pockets. That's a plus! And we've learn a lot about doing film festivals, all of which we'll apply to Skyfest II (announcement coming soon).
Our sincere thanks to all of you who submitted to our first festival -- we think you'll be very happy with what you'll be getting in the mail from us! ALL of you. ;-)
Now I've got to go get the awards list posted on the site and some other good stuff, so please check back.
