The deadline to submit a photo or film to the Germinate International Film Fest (GIFF) is rapidly approaching on June 30, 2019. Photographs and films related to agriculture, the environment, food, natural resources, workforce development, and rural communities will be accepted for the competition.

This is the inaugural year for the GIFF, and it is the only film festival in the United States focused on agriculture production, the environment, and rural communities. Local submissions will receive a priority to participate in the competition. Photographs can include any subject matter as long as it relates to the festival theme.
