<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">We
have extended our deadline</span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;"> to submit entries for the 2010 edition of </span><b><i><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">The
Archaeology Channel</span></i></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;"> International Film and Video Festival. This is the
only international competition for this genre in the entire </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">Western Hemisphere</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;"> and a wonderful showcase for your work.
Our new deadline for receipt of entries is </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">October 31</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">, 2009</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">. This extension will accommodate a number
of prospective entrants who have asked for more time. TAC Festival 2010
takes place </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">May 18-22, 2010</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">, in the Soreng Theater

Attached here is
the revised entry form with our guidelines. Please read the guidelines
carefully, as we depend on you for accurate information. Further

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">Please
do not wait</span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;"> to send your entries, because a burdensome flood of entries at
the last moment 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>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">For our last Festival,
we received 87 entries from 25 countries. We hope to exceed those numbers
this year and to attract the world’s best films in our genre to this
competition, but we need your help to accomplish this. With your support
and participation, we can continue to grow TAC Festival as a promotional tool
for your good work.</span></p>

thanks and best wishes to you all. </span></p>
