British International Amateur Film & Video Competition 2007

The closing date for entries was 31st January 2007. A wide selection of the best will be screened at BIAFF Festival in April.

* The "Best British" entry will also receive a cash prize of £100 and is eligible for the Daily Mail Trophy.

Other awards include those considered to be the best:

New for 2007 ...

There will be a special ONE MINUTE COMPETITION, judged by the Festival audience on a knockout basis.

It's not ALL about winning ...

Because every single movie is studied, graded and given a written critique - many movie makers use the competition as a way to check their progress. They don't expect to win a prize, but watch to see if they have moved from Blue to Bronze, from Bronze to Silver and so on. They accept that the notes are impartial comments - the kind you cannot get from family and friends - even if they do not always agree with what the judges say! What level have you reached this year?
