    California Coastal Views Film Festival

    Greetings!

    The First Annual California Coastal Views Film Festival has begun. Film entries providing non-commercial California coastal views are being acquired from those submitted to Youtube.com. The film competition will be judged as follows:

    Films are being collected from those tagged with key words indicating they contain scenes of the California coast. Until May 1st, they will screened and separated into logical categories (coastrides, places and wildlife, trips, waves and surfers, etc.). From May 6th until May 2, a group of judges will be asked to narrow the selections to the top ten in each of the categories. The final judging will be done by the members of the 2003 California Coastal Expedition, those who walked the entire coast of California during that spring and summer. Links to the winning films will be sent to this year's coastwalkers prior to their scheduled walks on California's coastal counties. Coastwalk's reputation for hosting walks in California counties over the past 24 years makes it especially qualified to partner with us to help coastal activists enjoy these films.

    California Coastal Travel Blogs

    Each year, the Califoria coast attracts millions of visitors. Many have begun to write about their experiences on web blogs. Here are some I've found:

    Blogging the California Coast

    A newcomer to blogs, I'm beginning to find quite a few blogs that record the coastal experience. Searching for blogs that contain "California", and either "coastal access" or "beach access" resulted in many responses. While many of these are contained in travel journals, other blogs entries reveal the writer's passion for places they cherish along the coast.

    I'm going to use the first few posts to this blog to provide some organization to the search results. If I have any chance of turning this blog into a useful resource, it will result from helping passionate Californian coastal activists communicate with each other more effectively.
