People’s Choice Awards

Welcome to the People’s Choice Awards page - where you get to help determine the winner!

What is the Mississippi Minute Film Festival?

Our organization – Minneapolis Riverfront Partnership – invited the general public to create a film of up to a minute.  We asked people to create a vision that showcases an appreciation for – or the future potential of – the riverfront in Minneapolis.  Most important, we want the film to inform, energize, and inspire our citizenry to action ­­– all in 60 seconds!

What is the People’s Choice Award?

On this page are all 22 qualifying entries we received for the 2015 Mississippi Minute Film Festival.  A panel of judges will judge most of the films and award honors in several category.  One category of winner gets determined by the general public: the film gets the most votes by 12:00 noon CST on Friday, October 23rd will win the People’s Choice Award!

The awards will be presented at our free, annual Minneapolis Riverfront Summit, scheduled for:

Monday, October 26th, 2015
5:30 until 8:00pm
Mill City Museum
704 South Second Street
advance registration encouraged

All are welcome.  There will be light food, and remarks from John Anfinson, Superintendent of our Mississippi National River and Recreation Area - the National Park at the heart of the Twin Cities.
