Clearwater Environmental Short Film Competition Clearwater Environmental
Short Film Competition
 
Clearwater thanks all the entrants to our first-annual national competition for new filmmakers, songwriters, musicians and poets who believe in the power of music and song to create change. We have received many wonderful and powerful entries. Our panel of Judges has selected the Top Ten Finalists and the winners have been selected by online voting.
 
And The Winners Are...
 
1st Place:   The Thin Blue Sign - Adam Auslander
 
2nd Place:   Time for Change - Mary Wallace
 
3rd Place:   The Farmer’s Song - Green Peas TV
 

Congratulations to the winners! And our thanks to everyone who entered, everyone who voted, and The Urban Diver’s Teepee for their valiant attempt to host the screening.
 
Unfortunately Mother Nature got the date and time wrong, and we were not able to make the announcements as promised at the Festival. As those of you who were there know, we got rained out—actually stormed out. We truly apologize to you all for this. We would have preferred to announce the winners in front of a live audience, but that was impossible because of the storm.

The CESFC is a juried national competition for new filmmakers, musicians, songwriters, and poets expressing their concern and interest for the environment through original music and song in a one-to-three minute video.
 
The competition is sponsored by the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, Inc., a non-profit, member-supported environmental organization, created over 40 years ago by the legendary Pete Seeger to defend and restore the Hudson River.
 
All entries are available on www.YouTube.com and should have "Clearwater Competition" in their titles.
