John Bailey, ASC, a distinguished cinematographer known for his artistic contributions to cinema, will spearhead the panel of judges, who will assess entries based on sample reels, faculty recommendations, and academic achievements. This is Baileys third consecutive year as a judge. His long list of credits include American Gigolo, Ordinary People, The Big Chill, The Accidental Tourist, Groundhog Day, As Good as it Gets, Incident at Loch Ness, Big Miracle and The Way Way Back, among many others. He also writes a blog for the American Society of Cinematographers - Johns Bailiwick - on a range of topics that affect the art and craft of filmmaking.

This year, Kodak introduces a new, online submission process to make entering easier. In addition to an online entry form, film schools can now use a public VIMEO or YOUTUBE URL to upload a sample of the students work that best exemplifies their filmmaking skills.

Accredited film schools around the world may nominate up to two students for consideration for the KODAK Student Scholarship, and one cinematography student for the KODAK Student Cinematography Scholarship. The cinematography student nominee may also be nominated for the KODAK Student Scholarship Award.
