CINE, the DC-area film, TV and digital media nonprofit organization, is now accepting submissions to the Fall 2013 CINE Golden Eagle Competition. For over 50 years, the CINE Golden Eagle Award has signified excellence within the film and television industry; from emerging filmmakers to industry pioneers, the CINE Golden Eagle Competition is home to the best of film, TV and digital media. Our Golden Eagle Award-winning "alumni" include Steven Spielberg, Ken Burns, Albert Maysles, Mira Nair, Spike Lee, Mike Nichols, Mel Brooks and Pixar Animation Studios.
But not all great filmmakers work on a studio lot, so we have categories for student and independent filmakers, digital media, industrials, news, reality TV and more. And we love bringing filmmakers together: At CINE’s recent Awards Gala, our 2012 Golden Eagle recipients met and networked with an amazing roster of film producers and TV executives.
Those who enter by September 13 will save $25 on their submission fee; all entries are due by September 23, 2013. For more information, including rules and regulations, categories, and entry fees, visit www.CINE.org. Submissions can be made through CINE’s website or at Withoutabox. Questions?

Launched in 1957 with the mission of selecting American films for international film festivals, the semi-annual CINE Golden Eagle Competion honors the best in film, television and digital media. From its earliest days, CINE utilized (and still utilizes) a jury system to choose the best among the many films submitted, honoring them with the CINE Golden Eagle Award; the peer recognition of excellence that a prestigious CINE Golden Eagle confers still opens doors. In the more than half century since its first competition, CINE alumni whose films have made the world laugh, cry, think, argue and change, include Ken Burns, Mel Brooks, Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard, Spike Lee, Stanley Nelson, Mira Nair, Robert Zemeckis, Jim Henson, Pixar Animation Studios, Quincy Jones and Mike Nichols - and that's just a partial list.
Some things stand the test of time, and CINE's knack for picking winners is one of them. The opportunity for emerging filmmakers to join this prestigious group continues. Recently, several of the winning films in our student division have gone on to win gold or silver medals at the Student Academy Awards, have shown their films at major festivals, and are working in the industry at places such as Walt Disney Animation Studios.
The competition has kept pace with the industry, with new divisions and categories to provide opportunities for a variety of media producers. The CINE Golden Eagle Competition includes divisions for student and independent filmmakers in all genres; TV documentaries, fiction, reality and news; advertising; children's programming; industrials; and digital programming.
