About The YOUthFILM Project...The YOUthFILM Project is an annual student filmmaking contest, presented by a team of volunteer lawyers from the Multnomah Bar Association Young Lawyers Section, who designed the program in 2006 to give students (K-12) an opportunity to express themselves creatively, learn more about our legal system, win prizes, and have fun! The YOUthFILM Project allows students to show off their creativity, knowledge, and skills by producing a short film on civics issues for the opportunity to win awesome prizes! Top films are screened for the public at the Hollywood Theatre in Northeast Portland during Community Law Week. Prizes are awarded at the screening by honorary guests, including Oregon Supreme Court Chief Justice Paul J. De Muniz. Prizes include iPod Shuffles™, gift cards to the iTunes Store™, and movie tickets. All entrants are entered into a drawing for an iPod™ Nano and other prizes. The 2009 contest celebrates two themes: American Bar Association's 2009 Law Day Theme, A Legacy of Liberty Lincoln's Bicentennial and Oregon's Sesquicentennial of Statehood (otherwise known as the 150th Birthday of Oregon's statehood). To honor the work of our student filmmakers, Ted Kulongoski, Governor of the State of Oregon proclaimed April 28, 2009, the date of our contest entrants' films, "Young Filmmakers' Day." 2009 Winner - "Best in Show Award": Kid Court - "What If There Was No Justice System":
