Crim­son Ham­mock Awards: Best Video By/​About One of Our Excel­lent Pro­gram­ming Partners

Our first install­ment of the Crim­son Ham­mocks was edi­fy­ing and enter­tain­ing, but the next two cat­e­gories (Pro­gram Part­ners and Home Movies) real­ly get to the heart of what what sum­mers on Gov­er­nors Island are all about. Over the past sev­er­al years, Gov­er­nors Island has become a haven for par­tic­i­pa­to­ry art, expe­ri­en­tial play and hands-on ecol­o­gy and his­to­ry. In oth­er words, dear vis­i­tor, it’s all about you. You make the fun. The videos nom­i­nat­ed in this next cat­e­go­ry show­case the tal­ents of the good folks who bring fun, par­tic­i­pa­to­ry events and pro­grams to the Island, either by their own work, or through the eyes of participant/​spectators. Which one do you like best? Let us know!
