Flashforward opens the nomination process for the 17th Flashforward Film Festival. The festival, now in its eighth year, celebrates the most innovative and compelling examples of Adobe Flash work available on the web. Anyone, including the creators of projects, can nominate work for one of fifteen categories in the film festival.
The categories–which range from art, cartoon, and video to commerce, experience, and navigation–recognize innovators pushing the limits of Flash, alone or in combination with other programs and platforms. The Flashforward Film Festival is one of the only creative competitions without entry fees in which work can be submitted by peers and the admiring public. The nomination process, which closes end of day June 29, 2007, can be accessed here: https://www.flashforwardconference.com/nominate.
Winners will be announced at the Flashforward Film Festival awards ceremony which takes place September 20, 2007 at the Boston Marriott Copley Place during Flashforward2007 Boston. Finalists in each category, chosen by a panel of expert judges, are showcased during the ceremony. The fifteen winners are awarded the famous Big Rubber Arrow. A sixteenth prize, the People’s Choice award, considered the most prestigious, is presented to only one of the sixty finalists and is chosen by the public via online voting.
"With new technology and the exponential growth of interest in the Flash platform, we expect the entries this year to really push creative and technical limits," said Lynda Weinman, CEO, lynda.com events, inc. and creator of the Flashforward Conference and Film Festival. "The recent release of Flash CS3 offers incredible new power to Flash creators, and we know we’ll see it harnessed in this year’s nominees."
