1. You have been a 1st unit cinematographer [director of photography] on at least 5 full-length feature films, which have been released theatrically [also outside your own country] - this doesn't apply to cinematographers specializing in documentaries [see: How to proceed #2];
2. You are still active as a cinematographer;
3. You will provide the editors - by e-mail - with the following information:
> one or more photos;
> your full name;

> education;
> career information;
> awards;
> your complete filmography [films, television and miscellaneous (as camera operator, gaffer, etc.)] - arranged in
order of filming dates [NOT release dates] - with director[s], film format [16mm, s16, s35, Panavision (p), High
Definition Video (HD), etc.], b&w and/or color, genre [short feature or documentary + length in minutes]; it's not
