Obliquely designed to showcase in-state talent, the contest will award a cash sum and arrange a premiere during the <strong>Chicago International Film Festival<\/strong> in October as a grand prize. Entrants should be <strong>Illinois <\/strong>residents aged 18 years or older and entries must run no more than 15 minutes, but the sky\u2019s apparently the limit on content as long as it doesn\u2019t push too far into <em>outr\u00e9 <\/em>or graphic territory and features completely original and\/or cleared elements. Non-refundable submission fee is $25.00 and deadline is <strong>Tuesday, August 31<\/strong>. Further details plus entry form can be found on the IFO Web site.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Other pages at the same site profile the winners from prior years, <strong>Larry Ziegelman<\/strong> in 2008 for <strong>CHECK PLEASE<\/strong> and the team of <strong>Laura Szymber<\/strong> and <strong>Brad DeMarea<\/strong> in 2009 for <strong>AN EVENING WITH EMERY LONG<\/strong>, all <strong>Chicago <\/strong>media professionals. If your first reaction to that revelation is, \u201cWell, <em>of course<\/em> the winners came from Chicago,\u201d then maybe you need to get on the stick and show the IFO how we do things outside the Windy City, boss.
