Dear
Friends,
We
are ecstatic to announce The Cortos Y Fuertes / Short & Strong Student
Film Competition, sponsored by the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor
and UNITE HERE.
Short
and Strong is a film competition meant to create a space for youth to tell
their immigrant stories.
This
student film competition is meant for students of all ages. We want
youth to be creative and resourceful, using whatever means accessible to
create their stories (even cell phones). The youth of this country is one
of the strongest we have; it's time to let that voice be heard.
We
will have three age categories: 13 and below, 14 to 17, and 18 and over (so
long as the individual is a student in high school, a GED program,
community college, undergraduate graduate degree program or graduate degree
program). There will be a 1st and 2nd place prize for each category,
as well as a Most Viewed and Best Overall prize.
This
is not only a chance for participants to win cash prizes, but it is
excellent opportunities to have their voices reach a distinguished panel of
judges. These judges include Rosario Dawson, Dolores Huerta, Antonio
Villaraigosa, Esai Morales, Danny Trejo and many more....
Cortos
y Fuertes film contest is a joint project of the Los Angeles County
Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO and UNITE HERE.

you have any questions feel free to contact me via email or phone.
In
Solidarity,
