The following was in my inbox the very next morning after posting my short film A Flight of Monarchs:
Hey Kim,
I watched your Short Film “A Flight of Monarchs” & I loved it!
I think you should upload it and some of your other Short films on Tallenge. We have an ongoing Short Film contest with $500 prize. You can sign up & upload for free.
The Winner of this contest qualifies for the annual contest which has a cash prize of $10,000.

I would love to see you compete on Tallenge. Let me know if you need any more info and I’ll be glad to help.
Love & Regards

With their super slick website touting themselves as Earth’s Largest Talent Platform, I immediately began to dream of winning $10,000. to put towards completing several current film projects. Enter the contest and you only have to:
