Representatives of the Global Foundation for Democracy and Development (GFDD) and the Fundación Global Democracia y Desarrollo (FUNGLODE) have received numerous petitions for the past several weeks from contestants of the Globo Verde Dominicano Award asking for more time to develop their proposals they are intending to present to the third edition of the contest. The three categories are short films, public service announcements and the recently added photography category.

As a result of these petitions, contest coordinators along with directors of the Global Foundation for Democracy and Development, have decided to give an opportunity to the contestants: the contest registration date will be extended to August 1st and the deadline for turning in entries will be August 11th.

We would like to remind everyone that the winners of the contest will be announced during the IV Dominican Environment Film Festival that will be held from September 10 to 14, 2014. It is also important to repeat that all entries must be marked and identified only with a pseudonym or alias and sent to the following address:

Globo Verde Dominicano Award Contest Dominican Environment Film Festival Attn. Mariel Gallardo FUNGLODE Calle Capitán Eugenio de Marchena #26, La Esperilla, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, Telephone: (809) 685-9966, Ext. 2454
