A screening committee will select the best of the entries, and those films will be shown on the big screen. A panel of three judges experienced in the field will vote, along with the audience, to determine the winners in each age category.
Dogfish Head Craft Brewery and the Rehoboth Beach Film Society will sponsor two of the age category prizes for this year’s festival. The film society will sponsor the 10-14-year-old age group, and Dogfish Head Craft Brewery will sponsor the 25 and up age group.
