We are happy to announce that on April 19, 2006, the Eugene Film Festival was awarded a $5,000 Tourism Special Projects grant from the Lane County Parks Department. These funds were used for support of the website and film entry recruitment from all over the world, out of Eugene area advertising, and related marketing and promotional materials. We are grateful for the acknowledgement and confidence of the Lane County Parks Department for the Eugene Film Festival reflected by the receipt of this grant.
