Due to an unfortunate loss of email for 7 days
(our email host server seems to have failed) we are
extending our entry deadline until July 15 with
no additional penalty fee.

We have been conducting competitions under the name
of the Columbus International Film& Video Festival,
aka "The Chris Awards" continuously for 56 years.
Currently a 6 day event held in Columbus, Ohio,
the Columbus International Film & Video Festival was the
first film festival in North America and was started in 1952.


The Chris Statuette is a highly respected award, and is
proudly displayed in the offices of many of the leading film
and video makers around the world.
Our office is located at: 1430 South High Street,
Columbus, Ohio 43207 USA

We are now accepting entries for the
2008 Columbus International Film & Video Festival,
aka "The Chris Awards".
