Texas State students, faculty and staff are setting the stage for the first ever Bobcat Tube Film Festival. Sarah Hudiburg (HEW-duh-burg) has more in this Bobcat Update.

It's called the Central Texas version of the Cannes Film Festival. It's the Bobcat Tube Video Contest. Participants create a three-minute video collage entitled, "A Slice of My Life at Texas State" that represents the role the school plays in each individual's life. The director of the contest, David King, says he's not really sure what to expect from the video submissions.

There are many creative and interesting ideas circulating for what a Bobcat Tube video might be.

The grand prize winner receives a Sony video camera. Second place gets an i-Touch, while the third spot receives an i-Pod Nano. Prizes will be presented at the Bobcat Tube Film Festival next month. Bobcats have until November 22nd to submit their videos for the contest. For Bobcat Update, I'm Sarah Hudiburg.
