HOT SAUCE & MAGNOLIAS
Call for entries from the Plugged Art Collective
A touring short video festival (see the prospectus)
DESCRIPTION
Artists living in the American South share a particular voice that draws from a combination of unique influences and
contradictions. A recipe thick as the woods, heat, and accents combined with history, tradition, and modern technology,
creates a story that reflects a culture that is rarely captured. Plugged Art Collective invites all artists living and working in
the American South to share their artworks, observations, and experiences.
GUIDELINES
Plugged Art Collective seeks short video works that are original in their use of the medium. Video entries of all lengths up
to 5 minutes with a max of 3 videos per artist, and all genres including, but not limited to: experimental, narrative,
documentary, animation. All video works must have been completed no earlier than 2007. “Hot Sauce & Magnolias”
will tour at various venues for 2 years. Screening begins in Spring 2010. All video entries must be submitted in data
format, NTSC (NO AUTO PLAY or DVD MENUS). Only DVDs can be accommodated.
ENTRY FEE: There is NO FEE for submission.
DEADLINE: Wednesday, September 30th
