Voices/Future Tense is proud to announce the first V/FT prize contest. We are looking for short films… yes, films. Fan films, set in the OA universe.

Daunting? Well, yes, but it can be done — and the SF and fantasy fan community is leading the way. The list is, once one stops to think of it, remarkable: Star Trek: New Voyages, Star Wars: Troops, Red vs Blue, Star Wars: Revelations, The Codex, Duality, and the cast and crew of Into The Black, all have all done startlingly beautiful work.

Here at V/FT, we think the OA universe is equally capable of inspiring such works of art. This is your chance to prove it.

Rules:

1. All films must be set in the Orion’s Arm universe.

2. Films can be live action, animation, machinima, or any combination thereof.

3. All films must be substantially created by the teams submitting them; remixing of clips from other films will not constitute an acceptable entry.

4. All films will be judged by a panel convened by the editorial staff of Voices/Future Tense. The decision of the judges shall be final.

5. Entries must be received by the editor by July 20, 2008 CE / 39 AT.

6. Entries may be received either physically, or by durable link to a website or streaming video location.

Prizes:

1st Place: $100.00
2nd Place: $50.00
3rd Place: $25.00

Further, the winning entry will be the subject of a special edition of Voices/Future Tense, devoted solely to the writing, production, and cast of the winning entry.

We look forward to seeing all your entries!
