The Fort Yachtie Da International Film Festival is already in its sixth year and the festival is officially open to entries for the 2013 contest. Captains and crews are invited to put together a five-minute video and showcase almost anything. Categories for entrants include comedy, action, documentary, infomercial and yachtie lifestyle. Don’t know what to put together? You can visit the festival’s website and see last year’s entries for inspiration. The awards ceremony will be held during the Fort Lauderdale boat show later this year and each registered Producer, both past and present, will receive four complimentary tickets to the event. The grand prize winner will receive an Oscar Fish trophy and up to $1,000 cash.

Entry rules:
