Call for Entries -- Speak Out Against Domestic Violence Short Film Competition!

The Avon Foundation for Women and Avon Products, Inc. have focused on ending domestic violence since 2004, with programs now in over 50 countries. As part of Avon's global Speak Out Against Domestic Violence program, Avon Mexico together with Expresion en Corto created a unique global short film contest in 2007 that addresses the issue of domestic violence. The contest has grown rapidly, and in 2008 entries were received from more than 23 countries. For the 2009 competition, we would greatly appreciate your support in sharing the message of a call for entries from filmmakers in your country.

The 2009 "Speak Out Against Domestic Violence Short Film Competition" will accept entries from July 31 through October 1. We are especially eager to attract more women filmmakers to this opportunity, which includes cash prizes for the top three winners. The attached document provides details, and we invite you to share the information broadly within your community. You may print the document, email it, post it on your website or include the information in your own communication vehicles.
