AMATEUR MOVIE CONTEST FOR 1936... The American Cinematographer 1936 Amateur Competition is open to amateurs all over the world who use either 8mm or 16mm film. The films must be in the offices of the American Cinematographer not later than November 30, 1936. There are no restrictions as to the number of sub- jects that may be entered, nor are there any restric- tions as to the length of the subjects. The one strict rule that applies, however, is that no professional help is received in the making of the picture. This does not include titles which may be made at a laboratory. The recognition of those who are given awards will be in the nature of a gold medallion which will be given by the American Society of Cinematographers who will be the judges of these pictures. The pictures will be given classifications so that the competition may be fair to all entrants. By this we mean that an entrant having a documentary film will not compete with one who has based his on a scenario. Of course, there will be more classifications than these. The classifications will be created according to the pic- tures that are received. Please remember your films must be in the office of the American Cinematographer, 633 I Hollywood Boul- evard, Hollywood, Calif., not later than November 30, 1936.
