1) Submission Deadline: Wednesday, March 28, 2008. No exceptions will be made for entries beyond
that date. Early submissions are encouraged.

2) Eligible pieces must be part of a school-related project from the fall 2007 or spring 2008 semester and submitted through the school. Eligible students must be currently enrolled in a high school in the

Although KLRN aims to include at least one video from each school/district that submits student work, quality issues or other timing constraints may not allow for equal time for all schools and districts.More than one submission from each school/district may be included.

4) Videos should be kept to a maximum of 7 minutes in length. Longer submissions may be reviewed for inclusion in the program after all the other submission meeting the 7 minute maximum time allotment have been screened and considered. Selected pieces may be shown in their entirety or only a portion may be shown during the program. Videos will be available for streaming via the KLRN website in their entirety.

5) Please limit all video submissions to one tape per school (combine submissions onto one tape).

6) All submissions must include an official Submission Form, available on the Fresh Cut webpage at www.klrn.org/FreshCut.

7) Teachers are encouraged to ask students to film themselves working on their projects. This footage may be included in the documentary as additional footage, according to the director of the program. KLRN may contact schools for additional footage for Fresh Cut.

8) KLRN may begin scheduling interviews immediately after entries have been judged. Judging will occur at the beginning of April 2008. Tentative broadcast date is scheduled for May 2008 (date and time TBA).
