Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves in the world. It was once so rich that Concorde used to fly from Caracas to Paris. But in the last three years its economy has collapsed. Hunger has gripped the nation for years. Now, it’s killing people and animals that are dying of starvation. The Venezuelan government knows, but won’t admit it!!! Four in five Venezuelans live in poverty. People queue for hours to buy food. Much of the time they go without. People are also dying from a lack of medicines. Inflation is at 82,766% and there are warnings it could exceed one million per cent by the end of this year. Venezuelans are trying to get out. The UN says 2.3 million people have fled the country - 7% of the population.

SBTV competition for best new television pilot, now up and running!

Storyboard TV, an online community of scriptwriters, television producers, and TV enthusiasts, has launched its third competition awarding a $2,000 prize to the writer with the best pilot for a one-hour or half-hour television show.

At storyboardtv.com, writers can share TV scripts for original shows with their potential audience members, while soliciting feedback and gauging enthusiasm for their story. Membership to Storyboard TV is free and open to all, and all members will be able to read, critique, and ultimately vote for their favorite TV scripts.

Entries for this competition will be accepted from today through April 25, 2011. After a month of peer review, ten semi-finalist scripts will be forwarded to a panel of writers, producers, and directors which will in turn narrow the field to three.

The winner of the script competition, announced on August 8, 2011, will be chosen from the finalists exclusively by Storyboard TV's membership community.

All semi-finalist scripts from our previous competitions can be found in the Archive section of our website.

Gold, Silver and Bronze medals, along with cash prizes, may be awarded to U.S. student filmmakers in the following categories: Alternative, Animation, Narrative and Documentary.

The Academy also announced a change in its foreign film category. Since 1981, the Academy has recognized student filmmakers from abroad by presenting a single Honorary Foreign Film award.

The application for entry is available online at: http://www.oscars.org/saa. U.S. entries must be submitted by Friday, April 1, 2011.

The foreign film competition is also open to full-time college and university students, however, in this category entries are accepted only from schools that are members of the International Film Organization known as CILECT, and located outside the borders of the United States. The deadline to submit a foreign student film for consideration is Friday, March 25, 2011.

On Saturday, June 11, 2011, the 38th Annual Student Academy Awards presentation will be held at the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.

Earlier this year, at the 82nd Academy Awards, former Student Academy Award winner Pete Docter took home the Oscar® for Best Animated Feature Film for “Up.” Gregg Helvey, a 2009 Student Academy Award winner, was a nominee in the Live Action Short Film category for “Kavi.”
