Alex,We are proud to announce that you have been selected as a finalist for the 2008 Preserve Our Planet College Film Contest in the short film category for your film titled THE EXPERIMENTAL GENERATION. Please note we will notify winners around March 28th. In addition, you have also been selected as a web finalist and your PSA will be included in the online voting at www.preserveourplanet.com. Online voting determines second place and will be live from March 17 – March 28 so tell everyone you know they can vote once per day. Being a part of the online voting process does not preclude you from being selected as the first place winner should the judges select your film.The first place winner in both the film and PSA categories will be decided by a panel of experts, including top National Geographic Explorers and representatives from NGC, ecoAmerica and MonsterTRAK. The second place winner in each category will be determined by online voting. Each winning student will receive a cash prize: $5,000 for the first place film; $3,000 for the first place PSA; $1,500 for the second place film; and $1,000 for the second place PSA.

Thanks again and best of luck.

Sincerely,

The Preserve Our Planet Film Fest Team

So in layman’s terms, the short film is up for the 1st place prize, and both will be up for the 2nd place web voting online!

I’ll let you guys know when we need to start the obsessive-compulsive voting!
