edition of <b><i>The Archaeology Channel</i></b> International Film and Video
Festival. This is the only international competition for this genre in
the entire Western Hemisphere and a wonderful showcase for your work. Our
deadline for receipt of entries is October 15, 2009. TAC Festival 2010
takes place May 18-22, 2010, in the Soreng Theater of the Hult Center for the
Performing Arts here in Eugene, Oregon, USA. Attached here is the entry
form with our guidelines. Please read the guidelines carefully, as we
depend on you for accurate information. Further information is posted at <a href="http://www.archaeologychannel.org/content/TACfestival.shtml"><span style="color:#2C5DB0">http://www.archaeologychannel.org/content/TACfestival.shtml</span></a>.</span></p>

very few entries, so we are very concerned. Please do not wait to send your
entries, because a burdensome flood of entries in the last week will slow down
our review and notification process. In previous years, some entries
regrettably were rejected because of errors in entry forms or problems with the
film review copies. If you allow plenty of time for these problems to be
resolved, you can help assure that you will not be excluded from
consideration. Also, we encourage you to make plans to attend the
Festival to represent your films and also to participate in our Conference on
Cultural Heritage Film.</span></p>
