First Person America is a national competition seeking the best videos,
photographs, and essays describing how individuals, families and
communities are managing during these hard times.

We are looking for short memoirs and essays, documentary films, and
photographs that depict Americans from all walks of life. We are
especially interested in stories that are unique to your family, your
community, your town, your region – that capture the idiosyncratic things
that are happening where you live - the slices of life that, taken
together, will give us a First Person picture of America in 2009 – the
good, the bad, the ugly and the beautiful.

Finalists in each category (writing, film, and photography) will be
featured on the First Person Arts website (www.firstpersonarts.org) and at
the First Person Festival of Memoir and Documentary Art, November 4-8,
2009. First place winners in each genre will be invited to Philadelphia to
participate in the festival. A cash prize of $500 will be awarded to the
best story overall.

Writing submissions – up to 2,500 words.
Film and video submissions – up to five minutes, excluding credits.
Photography submissions - may include up to five photographs, with or
without accompanying text of up to 100 words per image.

Submission deadline: June 30, 2009
