April 2011

Dear Young People (ages 7-18) and

Audio Description Enthusiasts!

AMERICAN COUNCIL OF THE BLIND-AUDIO DESCRIPTION PROJECT

and the

DESCRIBED AND CAPTIONED MEDIA PROGRAM

announce the

THIRD ANNUAL YOUNG DESCRIBED FILM CRITIC Contest

A "Listening Is Learning" Initiative

Kids love movies.  If you're a young person who can't see or can't see well, audio
description provides access to all the visual images of the movies that your sighted
peers enjoy.

Some films in movie theaters and certain DVDs have description available; many of
those DVDs and the older VHS tapes with description can be borrowed at public libraries
or state libraries for the blind.

The YOUNG DESCRIBED FILM CRITIC Contest  wants you to experience these films and
 the description soundtracks and tell us about them!

Young people with a visual impairment have a chance to win prizes for themselves
 AND recognition for their schools.   And--a chance to hold the awesome title: Young
Described Film Critic of the Year!
All you need to do for a chance to win is to write, type or record your own film
 review of any described movie.  Keep it short:  250 words maximum.
There are three age categories:  Sophomore (ages 7 to 10), Junior (ages 11 to 14),
and Senior (ages 15 to 18).  You can enter as many times as you like!
The top nominees in each age category will be invited to an Awards Ceremony at the
American Council of the Blind 2011 convention in Reno, NV during the week of July
11.  Special guest award presenters will be in attendance and while the prizes are
still to be determined, we know you won't be disappointed!

DEADLINE FOR ENTRIES:  Friday, June 3, 2011
