We have chosen the 10 finalists out of all of the entries we received for the contest. Here's how we got there: We watched every submission - we being myself (Anastasia), and other key members of the INdTV programming team (including four young people we feel are representative of our audience). We then had our president of programming and other executives screen the short list and decide on the final 10. They were evaluated based on creativity and originality. We favored those who shot original pieces for us and followed our prompts. We also factored in the overall quality of the piece and whether the subject matter would be of interest to our audience.
