2009 YOUTH VISIONS TEEN VIDEO COMPETITION
DIVA's 2009 Youth Visions Teen Video Competition celebrates the work of young videomakers in Lane County. Each year teens submit work that is reviewed by a panel of video professionals and educators. Those videos that demonstrate the most creative, effective and skillful responses to the call for entries will be screened and awarded prizes at a special session of the January 2009 OpenLens Festival held at the DIVA Center in Eugene. Winning videos will go on to be shown at other festivals and events as part of a 2009 Youth Visions Festival compilation.
