Everyone at Racer X would like to thank the many amateur videographers that put in the hard work to film and edit a quality entry for the 2016 Racer X Amateur Film Festival presented by MotoSport, WASPcam, and BAK Industries.

It was as tough as ever for our internal panel of judges to select only eight semifinalists from a large group of talented up-and-comers, which is why we’re featuring a handful of honorable mentions below.

But first, here are the 2016 Racer X Amateur Film Festival semifinalists:

Semifinalist	State/Country
Mason Churchill	California
Casey Cole	Florida
Uwe Froehlich	Austria
Mitch Goheen	Ontario
Jared Hardy	Colorado
Kenny Kaplan	Connecticut
David Wells	Texas
Tommy White	Pennsylvania

The semifinals will start tomorrow at 2:00pm ET on filmfestival.racerxonline.com. We’ll run two contestants’ videos against each other each week for a month, starting with California’s Mason Churchill and Pennsylvania’s Tommy White. The winner of each week, as determined by viewer voting, will advance to the finals. A final round of viewer voting will then determine our Racer X Amateur Film Festival winner and runners-up from the four finalists, who be gunning for the following prizes:

Honorable Mentions

If you didn’t make the semifinals, don’t give up! Austria’s Uwe Froehlich just missed the semifinals in our last film fest, but came back this year to land safely in the top eight.
