The winner will receive a check for $5,000 and a trip to New York for the trailers premiere, as well as a line credit at the end of the trailer, which will be shown before every Film Society screening for the next two years. HBO Films producers will professionally finish the trailer.

The winning entry will be the one that best conveys the Film Societys core image and mission, touches upon its major offerings, signals ways to learn more and get involved and credit its underwriter and creator.
