HIGH TIMES MAGAZINE is proud to announce?

The First Annual World Marijuana Film Festival

The First Annual World Marijuana Film Festival - home of the coveted WMMF
Awards - will be held on May 28 through June 3, 2006 in beautiful Ibiza,
Spain, the Party Capital of the Western World! The event is purposely
scheduled to follow the Cannes Film Festival (May 17 through 28). ??This
will be the after-party for Cannes,? says High Times editor-in-chief and
Festival organizer Steve Hager. ??And believe me, we know how to throw a
party!?

Marijuana has long had a supporting ?? and sometimes a starring ?? role in
some of the best films ever made. The 2006 WMFF Awards will honor this
trend and recognize the finest achievements in current cannabis-themed
cinema. The award categories include Best Feature, Best Short, Best Cult
Film and Best Documentary.

The Festival??s top award ?? the Golden Leaf ?? will be reserved for that
film which most successfully celebrates marijuana and the culture it
represents.

The World Marijuana Film Festival will be held at the beautiful Hotel
Bellamar, overlooking the Bay of San Antonio, on the historic and
culturally rich isle of Ibiza, Spain.
