Back in December, we announced the winners of the 2009 Jesse Thompkins III Foundation for Young People in the Arts which was established by Jesse and Judith Thompkins, in memory of their filmmaker son, Jesse Thompkins III, who was tragically killed in a traffic accident in 2008. The mission of the JT3 Foundation is to seek aspiring young filmmakers and screenwriters and to “invest in the development of emerging artists who best embody our namesake’s tenacity in the pursuit of their artistic passion”.
Now the JT3 Foundation has announced that they are currently accepting applications from now until May 7th for this year’s JT3 Artists Awards. To find out more about the Foundation and the awards competition go Here.
