Students who are beginning to use film as a medium of expression are sometimes more highly motivated to achieve excellence if they know channels through which they can seek acclaim for their films. Listed here are three highly accessible competitive events through which acclaim may be sought. Each event is described briefly, offering information about prizes, qualification requirements, type of film accepted, and entry fee. Additional film festivals are named, and it is suggested that more complete information about film festivals can be located in the "University Film Association Digest" of March, 1969. (Author/SH)
