What style can my short film be?
The film can be a documentary, drama, animation, photo montage, or a combination of these.
I'm excited! How do I enter?
First of all, read over the Terms and Conditions here. Get your school teacher on board and complete your entry form online here, as well as the T&C here, then scan and email to the competition. Upload your video to YouTube, and then email your URL to the competition.
