explore.org, a non-profit educational organization and the HATCH Film Festival have recently teamed up to create a brand new short film award!

The explore/Hatch Award will be presented to the filmmaker whose short film shows a group or individual hero striving for a better world through selfless acts.

The winner will receive a full expense paid trip to HATCHFest in Asheville, North Carolina (April 15th - 18th) where they will have the chance to meet with prominent mentors as well as receive a prize from the explore.org co-founder, Charles Annenberg Weingarten!

Submissions are due on March 25th, 2010. SO SUBMIT SOON!
