The “Academy Awards” ceremony for the “3-Minute Teen Film Festival” will be Saturday, May 22, at 7 p.m. in the Community Room of the Coeur d’Alene Public Library.

Earlier this spring area teens in Grades 7-12 were invited to submit videos for the festival to participating libraries – Coeur d’Alene, the Hayden Branch Library and the Post Falls Public Library.

The videos were created using the theme, “Earth in Focus.”

Saturdays program will include a screening of all the videos accepted for the competition as well as some examples of teen videos from other parts of the country. A panel of judges will select the top three entries.

Winners will receive cash prizes of $100 for first, $75 for second, and $50 for third. The first-place winners will also receive recognition on the Film Festival Traveling Trophy that will be displayed at the winner’s library for the next year.

Refreshments will be provided.

The “3-Minute Film Teen Film Festival” has been funded by the participating libraries and their Friends of the Library organizations.
