Details and Rules
Directors may be any age. Make sure to tell us what age group you would like to be added to. Co-directing (multiple participants directing a movie together) is allowed and the entry fee is still a suggested $10 for the whole group. Other people such as parents, grandparents, pets, etc. can appear in the video, but the video will be submitted under the name of the director(s).
Videos can be a maximum of 3 minutes long.
All videos must be approved by The Wallace Staff after submission. Movies chosen should be rated G or PG. If you wish to use a movie that is rated PG-13, the movie and the scene from it must be approved by The Wallace Staff. Videos containing controversial topics including but not limited to alcohol consumption, drugs, or sexuality will not be accepted.
The entry deadline is Sunday, April 26, 2020 at midnight. (This means paying the entry fee and submitting your video.)
Online voting for People’s Choice will start on Tuesday, April 28th at 8AM and run until Saturday May 16th at 5PM.
Our Number One rule is this: have fun and get creative! Your video does NOT need to be perfect — the most important thing is that you and your friends and family enjoy doing this together.
Submitting a Video
Video submission will occur using a Google Drive account. After we have received your entry fee, there will be an email confirmation of your payment that includes the link to the Google Drive. In order to access to the Google Drive, you will need to have a Google account. Videos will be accepted until April 26th at midnight.
We will also accept video submissions on flash drives if you’d rather drop one off at The Wallace.
The name of the video should have the name of the director and the movie (e.g. John Smith’s Video: Kung Fu Panda). Please also include a clip of the original scene from the movie; you can usually find these on YouTube and just copy the link. There will be a general document within the Google Drive where you can post the link to your movie. If you can’t find a YouTube video, email us at VideoChallenge@wallacetheater.com and we will figure it out together.

Voting
People’s Choice Voting will occur by donation. At the beginning of the voting period, videos will be shared from The Wallace Facebook and will direct viewers to the website used for voting. The voting period will be from April 28th at 8AM to May 16th at 5PM. During this time, directors and their families are welcome to share the Facebook post containing their video to show more people the product of your hard work! There will be a specific page here on the website that will have all of the video links and track how much each video has raised.
