RealScreen has added a us$5,000 cash prize to its ID Award for innovation in documentaries. The award will be presented at the next RealScreen Summit in Washington, d.c. in February 2000. The deadline for submissions is Friday, Dec. 3. Last year’s inaugural ID Award winner was Rat, directed and produced by Mark Lewis of Radio Pictures, New York.

The guide’s value and accuracy depends on the active participation of responding distributors and producers.
