KWN (Kid Witness News) is global educational program supported by Panasonic. An annual contest of videos made by children around the world is accompanied by an awards ceremony. This year, the awards ceremony has been moved from Japan to the U.S., the birthplace of the KWN program. The 2011 Global Contest awards will be presented in Hollywood, the film capital of the world, on July 21.
Six videos were selected from a pool of 26 regional winning entries by a judging panel comprised of movie production professionals, journalists, educators and Panasonic representatives. The grand prize and special awards will be announced and presented at the Global Awards Ceremony.
Five experts from the movie industry and the press in different countries will choose the winning entry from the six finalists.
