Ithaca College has announced its second annual student cell phone film competition, the CellFlix Festival, which focuses on 30-second films shot on cell phones.

This year's prizes include a $5,000 Judges' Prize and a $5,000 Fan Favorite prize sponsored by Texas Instruments. You can view all entries and vote online at the CellFlix screening room.

"Last year, we were delighted that 178 students figured out how to shoot a cell phone film; this time around, we expect thousands of fledgling directors from around the U.S. to pick up their camera phones and get creative," says Ithaca College's Dianne Lynch.

The entry deadline for the festival is April 1st, 2007, and the winners will be announced on May 1st.
