PHOTOPLAY MAGAZINE thanks the members of the Amateur Cinema League and active amateur cinematographers everywhere for their splendid cooperation in making a success of its $2,000 movie contest. A substantial number of amateur films have been received and they are still coming in. The contest closes on February 15th. Full announcement of the awards will be made as soon as possible in PHOTOPLAY MAGAZINE. Unusual interest has centered in this contest — the first international amateur competition ever held for movie enthusiasts. All the competing films, before their return to their owners, are to be used by the Amateur Cinema League in creating a standard of amateur cinematography. Never before has it been possible to study amateur films in a sufficient number for their use in making a complete study of the amateur film movement. Further announcements of this will appear in PHOTOPLAY MAGAZINE, together with interesting plans for showing the winning films. Watch future issues of PHOTOPLAY MAGAZINE. Incidentally, every enthusiast should read the amateur movie department of PHOTOPLAY every month. PHOTOPLAY, too, is invaluable in watching the activities of the professional world of motion pictures. PHOTOPLAY is the foremost magazine of its field.
