AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Students in South America can submit work to this documentary festival in Curitiba, Brazil.

Les Impatientes is accepting submissions for its Festival Internacional do Documentário Estudantil (FIDÉ), which aims to promote student documentary production worldwide. FIDÉ has been held for four years in France and will come to Brazil in November for the first time. The specific date and location have yet to be determined.

Students enrolled in university or any other type of educational institution can submit work.

The festival, which is not a competitive event, showcases work that goes beyond the typical standard of traditional media. It aims to create a space for debate, exchange of experiences and cooperation between the public, students and professionals.

The Association of Film Lokuos Films and the short cycle Va De Curt of Voilà-Cafè Teatre in Barcelona seek entries for Cinephone, a contest of short films made with mobile phones.

There is no limit on number of entries. Films must be shot with a mobile phone and applicants should include its make and model in each submission.

Consent is required for people and private locations appearing in film. Films must be original and unpublished.

The duration of the shorts must not exceed five minutes. Work submitted that is not in Spanish or Catalan must be subtitled.

The first-place prize includes EUR€300 (US$365) and a Samsung smartphone; the second-place prize is EUR€150 (US$180) and three hotel nights; the third-and fourth-place winners will receive EUR€50 (US$60).

Photojournalists and amateur photographers worldwide can enter this contest.

Mini Space is accepting entries for its Strength in Numbers photography contest.

Each applicant should submit a photographic interpretation of the contest's theme--whether it be a magnificent swarm of starlings, an army of ants tackling a leaf, the stunning synchronicity of a dance troupe or the orchestral swirl of a cluster of stars in the evening sky.

The first-place winner will receive a MacBook Air; the second-place winner will receive an new iPad 16GB; and the third-place winner will receive an iPhone 4S 16GB. The popular vote winner will receive a Diana Camera Deluxe Kit.

The submission deadline is August 29.

Professional photographers in Latin America can participate in this contest.

Organized by the Plan International and news agency EFE, the competition invites photographers to submit their work to the photography contest and exhibit "Because I am a Girl." Submissions should address the exclusion of girls in Latin America and highlight and how they live day-to-day.

The pictures must depict girls in one of the 13 countries where Plan International is active: Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay and Peru.

The selected photos may be displayed at various commercial centers and other locations in the participating countries on Oct. 11, in celebration of the International Day of the Girl.
