    Winners will be judged, selected and notified by Wednesday, October 29th.

    They're doing the judging today too.. There had to be at least 200 to maybe 500 entries. That's a LOT of reading! They they've gotta whittle it down to 50, plus leave some extras in case people don't respond and it goes to the next in line. This could take a while!

    You think there are that many entries? It's just hard to judge how much interest there is, I feel like there has been a lukewarm reception on the message board at least. You are certainly right about it taking awhile to weed threw everyone's submission and notifying etc. PATIENCE - UGH.

    I was thinking that since they're giving away 50 screenings that there would be one for each state, but I guess it depends on where people are entering from...

    meaning that I would think they would separate as they received them, right?

    I really have no idea... it's all skepticism... and wishful thinking/hoping that no one else entered from KY and I'll win by default :)

    I just want to see the film anyway. So I hope there is a screening nearby.

    I'm sure that's what they're doing while they sift through the entries! It is the best way to make an important decision, don't you know! Just as long as your not seeing double and accidentally bubble in a candidate whose name starts with "M"...

    Do you think they will let people know if they win OR lose, or just if they win?

    We would love to share photos of your event with the rest of the Pearl Jam community. Please email us some photos at webmaster@tenclub.net and we will post them on pearljam.com. We’re looking forward to hearing from you!

    Here is a Vote For Change? 2004 film synopsis by directors Rick Charnoski and Coan Nichols:

    In April of 2004 we were deep in the San Bernadino, CA skating a few of the dozens of pools left empty by the fires that swept through the area a few months earlier. Jeff Ament, bass player for Pearl Jam, had come along to take advantage of this opportunity. Jeff has been a fan of our skate films (Fruit of the Vine, Northwest, Tent City, etc.) for a few years and asked if we would be interested in doing something with Pearl Jam. He mentioned that they were planning a "Vote For Change" tour right before the election and maybe we could come along and make a film.

    We worked it out and ended up in Seattle in the beginning of October 2004 in time to shoot some rehearsals and meet the other band members. We didn't really have much of a plan and we hadn't shot much live music before, but we figured we'd just wing it and see what we got. We brought a few Super 8 movie cameras, a video camera and loads of film and just started shooting.

    We flew from Seattle to New York, then followed the tour in a van to Reading PA, Toledo OH, Grand Rapids MI, St Louis MO, Asheville NC and ended up in Kissimee FL. Along the way we met with and spoke to hundreds of fans and just ordinary people about voting, democracy and politics in general. We cut the interviews into the live performances from each city, along with a few exclusive interviews with each band member. It is the first rock and roll tour film that WE know of shot entirely in super 8mm film with an amazing sound track recorded live and mixed by Brett Eliason.

    We got home and cut the film, but never showed it to anyone. The enthusiasm for the project dwindled due to the outcome of the election. Ironically, we feel like Bush's reelection may have made the film even more important/ valid and we think now is a great time to dig it out and remind people why it is so important to vote. We love this film, it's like nothing we have ever done before and we are stoked to finally have the chance to show it.
