"WienXtra", one of the biggest NGOs for children and youth in Vienna in co-operation with OEBV (Austrian National Centre of AITA/IATA) and AITA/IATA organises the 1st World Festival of Youth-Theatre together with the City of Vienna.

Independent documentarians and film makers from around the world can
submit their work to The Talking Pictures Festival, which will be held
near Chicago, in the U.S., from May 1 to 3. The deadline to enter is
January 30.

Though the organizers are accepting films on a variety of topics, this
year's theme focuses on sustainability, organic food and agriculture,
and the environment. Thus, the organizers are especially interested in
receiving entries related to those themes.

Interested participants may submit documentaries, fiction films, music
videos, experimental films, animation, short/long films, and any other
genre of film. Winners will be awarded with cash.

January's Class A Projected Image Competition earned me an "Honorable Mention" ribbon for the attached digitally edited photo which I call "Beach Chairs" at the Greater Lynn Photographic Association. Mike Goodman, MNEC, of New Hampshire was the judge for this month's event. Mike is a member of the Gateway Camera Club and has won many medals locally and worldwide in International competitions. I think this is a fun looking photo and I had it printed on a computer mouse pad. It looks great!
