Hey, Everyone, We Have a Deadline!!

ATTENTION ALL FILMMAKERS!

The time is drawing near, and we are all filled with excitement and dread, as this year's BlobFest is almost upon us (July 9-11). So, what are you waiting for? GO OUT THERE AND MAKE A MOVIE!!
Rules for this year's Shorty Awards have been posted at the Colonial Theatre's website (found here). You can go there to read them, but if you're just too lazy to type in a few simple characters on your keyboard, you can find out everything you need to know at this page:

BLOBFEST 2010 EVENTS!

There you will find one of those fancy PDF files containing the guidelines for the contest, but as a public service, we thought it appropriate to post them here as well. So, here goes:

-All entries must be family friendly. No guts, blood, cursing, scantily clad women, or anything of that sort will be allowed. Glad we got that out of the way.
-All entries must be FIVE MINUTES OR LESS. Any more minutes and that's just too many minutes. We can't have too many minutes, so five minutes is the set minutes.
-All entries must be uploaded to YouTube by JUNE 15th. Alright? June 15th. No late entries, y'all; that date's set in stone.
-As the entries are received, they will be favorited to the Shorty's YouTube page (found here) so that everyone can see them. The blog will also be updated whenever a new film is entered. That way everyone can watch them, whether they win or not. Then everybody happy.
-On JUNE 28th, the finalists will be announced at the Colonial Theatre's website (found here, in case you missed it the first time), and everyone will be able to vote for their favorite, which will ultimately win the Fan Favorite Award. The other awards will be divided into two categories (Under 18 and Over 18), so there will be three awards in all.
-The winning films will be shown on the first night of BlobFest 2010, on JULY 9th. All winners will be notified beforehand and will probably want to attend, so they can pick up their shiny blobby award and see their masterpiece on the big screen.

So, there you have it folks, the rules and regulations for BlobFest 2010 Shorty Awards. We highly suggest that you all get to making your movies on the double, as the due date is approaching fast. So get to steppin' and we'll see you in July!

Love,
