The National Fenestration Rating Council
(NFRC) issued a call for submissions today for the NFRC 25th
Anniversary Student Film Contest. The contest is part of a yearlong celebration
of NFRC’s quarter-century of service to architects, builders and consumers.
College
students in the U.S. and Canada are invited to answer the question, “Why do
windows matter?” in a video production lasting no more than five minutes. NFRC
will award the top three filmmakers with cash scholarships.
“There’s
any number of ways participants can run with this,” said NFRC CEO Jim Benney. “In
a way, we’re looking to these students for inspiration through their creativity
and imagination. And it’s a great way for NFRC to celebrate its 25th
anniversary.”
Entries
are due by August 1, 2014, at 11:59 p.m. A panel of NFRC members will view and
judge the submissions. The top three entries will be screened at NFRC’s Fall
Membership Meeting on Sept. 22 in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, and
posted to NFRC’s website, www.nfrg.org.
“This
is an exciting new undertaking for us and will be a great way to engage
students in the work we do,” said Jessica Finn, NFRC membership coordinator.
“We hope participating students will see their films as an important element in
promoting energy efficiency and environmental responsibility.”
