The 321 International Festival 2009 Result   The idea of this challenge is to hold a Festival with several juries, within the geographic locations of the organisers. The Event will be held in 13 Countries, so each club or group will ensure that qualified judges select the winners for their location. Beyond a simple prize list, the main aim of our Festival is to exchange, judge and to publicise digital Audio Visual sequences beyond the geographic area of your club. The judging will be public. The Challenge Diaporama 321 is organized by the workshop of André Parmantier, audiovisual section of GAPHE. The final prize list is obtained by adding together the points from each group. The Grand Prix of the competition rewards the sequence having amassed the most points in the whole circuit.
