Please register your team by March 31st, 2011 at 5pm. However, there will be limitations to the number of teams that can compete. Register by emailing angus@edvideo.org

Teams can consist of up to 8 people. This includes anyone who appears in, or contributes creatively or with technical skill, to the production of your film challenge video. 

Individuals may support your team with props, costumes, locations, or equipment without being considered as part of your team.

The total running time, including credits (which are optional), of all entries should be no longer than 6:00 minutes. Entries which exceed the time limit may or may not be screened at the discretion of the challenge organizer, and will not be considered by the jury.

All entries must be submitted at the designated drop-off location by Monday April 4th @ 10am. 

Shoot or create your video using any technology you want to use. There are no limitations on how you create your film or video. There are limitations on how you may submit your entry (see below). 

Submission *IMPORTANT*

The finished videos will NOT be presented in High-Definition. Please down-res to Standard Definition.

Best formats to submit on:

• Mini-DV cassette (standard definition, 4:3, 16:9 or letterboxed)
• Data DVD containing an MPEG2 or high-quality Quicktime File

Other acceptable formats (expect some quality loss)

• VHS
• Playable DVD (please leave a black space of 15 seconds before the video starts)

Further information will be available on the day of the launch. If your team will not be able to submit in one of the above formats please inform Angus in advance to make arrangements. Tapes and DVDs will be returned on request.

Competitors are expected to use only material (music, images, logos, trademarks, video) which they have the express consent to use for the purposes of the challenge, or may use under "fair use" practices. Discovery of intentional copyright infringement may result in disqualification from jury decisions. 

We are not placing restrictions on swearing, violence, or nudity, but ask that all competitors use their better judgement. The film challenge isn't exactly a family event, but we would like the screening event to be friendly to all competitors (which may include youth). 

Overly graphic or mature content may be withheld from the screening, or be preceded by a warning, at the discretion of the challenge organizer.
