Established in 2010 by local community leaders, the Friends of TBNMS is a nonprofit 501(c)3. Its founders envisioned the significant opportunity the sanctuary offered for protecting our Great Lakes and their rich maritime history, hands-on educational experiences for area students, and local economic development. Today, that vision has become a reality with the Friends of TBNMS sharing a close working relationship with the sanctuary staff, playing a critical role in funding the sanctuary’s education programs, community outreach efforts, unique museum experiences, and research.
Description
The Sanctuary Selections Film Competition, presented in partnership with The Sunset Project, provides a unique opportunity for filmmakers within the Great Lakes Region. Five films, selected by a panel of judges, will be shown during the evening followed by a live Q&A session with each filmmaker. At the end of the program, the winning film will be announced and awarded a $5,000 prize to help fund future projects. This event will include hors d’oeuvres, film screenings, live discussions, a cash bar, and the final award presentation.
