Submission deadline Nov. 30 for Ocean City Film Festival

(Nov. 25, 2022) The seventh annual Ocean City Film Festival will return to the resort March 3-6, and is accepting entries for the festival with an extended deadline as a courtesy to area filmmakers.

The extended deadline is Nov. 30.

“Though we have a comfortable amount of submissions already for next year’s festival, this extension will hopefully accommodate a number of filmmakers,” B.L Strang-Moya, Film Festival Creative Director, said. “The Maryland Film Festival recently announced their 25th season will be postponed until 2024. We hope to inspire filmmakers to turn to smaller festivals like us in the region.”

Final deadline fees apply. However, waiver codes are available for students and where needed by request at OceanCityFilmFest@gmail.com. Complete rules and entry forms are posted at https://filmfreeway.com/OceanCityFil mFestival.

Hosted by the Art League of Ocean City, the festival was founded in 2017 and has become a recognized annual event that attracts international, national, and regional artists working in film.

In 2021, the festival was named a member of the Sundance Industry Office, a testament to its rapid growth and reach.

The festival creates both community engagement and networking opportunities for filmmakers at all levels in their careers.

The festival in 2023 will screen approximately 70 films from around the world in local venues, with exclusive premieres of locally-produced films, plus receptions, happy hours, morning coffee get-togethers, and an awards ceremony.

The festival will accept submissions for narrative short, narrative feature, documentary short, and documentary feature films.

From these four categories, the Film Festival jury will specially curate film showcases based on common themes.

Submissions will be judged by a panel, and filmmakers will be notified of acceptance into the festival in January.

General information about the Film Festival is available at OCMDfilmfestival.com.

Funding for past festivals has come from The Town of Ocean City and the Maryland Film Office as well as private individuals and businesses.

The Art League of Ocean City is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing the visual arts to the community through education, exhibits, scholarship, programs and community art projects.

(Nov. 25, 2022) The Lower Shore’s Giving Tuesday event will feature a record-breaking 124 nonprofits during the 24-hour online giving event.

Held each year on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, this year’s event falls on Nov. 29, but donors can begin scheduling their gifts now.

The local campaign, known as The Shore Gives More, is hosted by the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore and assists nonprofits serving Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester counties with fundraising efforts.

The online donation portal features an easy way for donors to quickly learn about the individual nonprofits and make as many or as few donations as they like in one easy online checkout.

“The campaign has grown greatly in just seven years. In 2015 the local campaign started with 23 nonprofits and raised just under $7,500, but by 2021 it grew to $300,000 raised for 120 area nonprofits in a single day,” said Community Foundation President Erica Joseph. “This year marks the largest number of nonprofits to participate in the campaign.”

Donors can rest easy knowing that the gifts they make will go to the charities of their choice and will also make a local impact.

The campaign carefully vets each participating organization to ensure current tax-exempt status and service to the Lower Shore area.

“The generosity of our local community is what enables area nonprofits to increase their impact on the Lower Eastern Shore,” Joseph said. “Each gift made to a nonprofit on Giving Tuesday makes a difference for the area we call home.”

Nonprofits are given access to online fundraising platforms, marketing campaigns, and incentive prizes.

Software purchased by the Community Foundation allows donors to schedule their gifts in advance of the event and allows supporters the option of donating to multiple nonprofits at once.

The Community Foundation provides the services at no-cost to the nonprofits. Nonprofits cover standard credit card processing fees.

“The campaign is truly a collaborative effort,” Joseph said. “Each nonprofit works hard to make their fundraising goals a reality, and months of preparations are put in before the big day. Our primary sponsors, Shore United Bank and 47 ABC, provide invaluable support which allows the event to be a success.”

To learn more about the Shore Gives More Giving Tuesday campaign visit www.ShoreGivesMore.org.

As leaders, grant makers, and stewards of philanthropy, the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore connects people who care to causes that matter for the common good of the Lower Eastern Shore.

It is a 501c3 nonprofit with an inspiring history of fostering charitable endeavors, and has provided $100 million in grants and scholarships to the local community since 1984.

It collaborates with individuals, families, and businesses to match their charitable interests with community needs and strengthen local nonprofits through grants and resources.
