Hollywood is Calling!!! Enter for a Chance
To Become A KIDS FIRST! Film Critic
|
How to Enter
Thanks for entering our 2013 Film Critics Search Competition. We have had such fun with our 2012 winners this year. They have attended film premieres, red carpet events and advance screenings. Our 16 current youth film critics are reviewing every major film or DVD release rated PG-13 or younger. Take a look!
We know that most of you are not going end up as a professional film critic. What we do know is that the skills you will learn when you are part of this program will be invaluable and truly will last a lifetime. In today's media-saturated world, having the confidence to speak before a group, particularly on camera or on the radio, position you for leadership!
And, everyone wins! Whether you win a spot as an official KIDS FIRST! Film Critic or not, you'll learn something just by entering the competition and have fun while doing it.
Reviews may be submitted beginning October 3, 2012
