The Festival is a collaborative project of the Thomas A. Edison Media Arts Consortium and New Jersey Institute of Technology. Each year three independent jurors review entries by young people age 6 to 26 who reside or attend school in New Jersey and prizes are awarded at several levels. The Festival's mission is to provide New Jersey's young video and film artists the opportunity to have their works exposed to and evaluated by professional representatives of the media arts.
Jurors look for originality of concept and treatment.
Public exhibition of prize winning works is part of the Festival's mission. Last updated October 30, 2000.
