PITTSBURGH, March 5 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following event was announced today by the Bayer Corporation:

WHO &

WHAT: Pittsburgh's young filmmakers will debut their original environment-oriented documentaries at next month's fifth annual C.A.U.S.E. Challenge(TM) High School Film Festival.

The short films by Pittsburgh teens will be showcased at the C.A.U.S.E. Challenge Film Festival and Awards Ceremony. Finalists are competing for more than $10,000 in cash and other prizes for themselves and their schools.

Sponsored by Bayer Corporation, Carnegie Science Center's Regional SciTech Initiative and Pittsburgh Filmmakers, C.A.U.S.E. stands for "Creating Awareness and Understanding of our Surrounding Environment." The competition provides a platform for high school students who are not necessarily on a science track to become more scientifically and environmentally aware through the creative filmmaking process. Students develop their creative voice, advance skills such as researching, writing and speaking, and they build important science literacy skills like critical thinking, problem solving and teamwork.
