MINNEAPOLIS -
The American Brain Foundation, the foundation for the American Academy of Neurology, is now accepting video entries to its 2013 Neuro Film Festival. Now in its fourth year, the Neuro Film Festival is a contest to raise awareness about why more money is needed for research to find cures for brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, autism and Parkinson’s disease. Winners could receive up to $1,000 and a trip to San Diego to see their film shown to a live audience at the Neuro Film Festival event. The deadline to enter is January 31, 2013, at http://www.NeuroFilmFestival.com. “Please consider submitting your video about someone with a brain disorder to help us make the case as to why more research is needed to help the 50 million Americans affected by brain disease,” said John Mazziotta, MD, PhD, Chair of the American Brain Foundation's Board of Trustees and Professor and Chair of UCLA's Department of Neurology and Brain Mapping Center in Los Angeles. A video showing how to submit to the Neuro Film Festival is available at www.NeuroFilmFestival.com along with complete contest rules. Video entries should be no more than 5:00 minutes in length and include the phrase “Let’s put our brains together to cure brain disease. Visit CureBrainDisease.org.” Since 2010, nearly 300 videos have been submitted to the Neuro Film Festival along with thousands of votes cast from the public for their favorite entries.
