FYI: Film Your Issue is holding a short film competition about issues that matter to young Americans today. In an attempt to get people engaged and excited about film and issues that are important to the youth of today, they are accepting submissions on their MySpace site- www.myspace.com/filmyourissue from filmmakers ages 14 to 24. Films will be judged by a prestigious group of individuals including Walter Cronkite, Tom Brokaw, Wolf Blitzer, and Bill Maher.

FYI stresses that film submissions should not resemble public service announcements, but should contain an engaging and informative narrative that demonstrates the power of individual voices to influence public debate. The deadline for film submissions is April 14, 2008. Prizes include internships with USA Today, the United Nations, PBS, and a chance to win a scholarship for $5000!! Go to http://www.filmyourissue.com/2008.shtml to get more details about submission requirements.

Winners will be featured on True Stories' homepage so start filming and have your voice heard!
