The Great Lakes Film Association is proud to announce its annual storyboard competition for 2008. All genres of storyboards will be accepted nationally and internationally for the 2008 competition. 

A storyboard visually coveys the plot and action of a scene, shot, whole film or a commercial. Storyboards are graphic organizers such as a series of illustrations or images displayed in sequence for the purpose of previsualizing a motion graphic or interactive media sequence, including website interactivity.

The competition judges will be looking for skills in the development and communication of a strong, innovative, well-realized idea and technique and less about beautifully rendered storyboards.
