My name is Sean Wilkinson and I am responsible for the Consumer and Digital Marketing for the bicycle accessories brand Knog and just wanted to touch base with you regarding a competition that we are currently running.

As you may have heard, Knog are currently in the process of organising the first ever Knog Film Festival here in sunny Melbourne. There will be some pretty incredible prizes up for grabs such as a Tern Bike, Globe x Knog Cruiserboard, Rapha apparel, Timbuk 2 messenger bags, Knog gear and loads more prizes soon to be announced.

What we’re asking is for people to put together a short video (about 15-30 seconds) of their “No Ordinary Night”. Shock, scare, amuse and entertain us! All we ask is that the footage is filmed at night and captures your imagination! These can be Instagram, Vine or Youtube videos etc. so you do not need to have any filming experience to enter.

This competition is open to anyone and the awards night will take place on the 12th October at Baron Said in Melbourne.

I’m sending this email out to let you know that our festival has just
started accepting short film submissions for the 2014 edition.

We take short films under 25min. produced after June, 2012 in any genre and
Japan premiere status is also required.

Merit Equity is running a competition which may be of interest to your advertising and film students. We are looking for students to create short films to promote our program and the issues we are hoping to address. There are some great prizes to be won: $3,000 for first place, $1,000 for second and an iPad 2 for third.

Merit Equity is an initiative which aims to soon provide private sector funding to university students who are struggling to make ends meet. So the film could promote our business directly or indirectly by, for example, emphasising the need for more student funding.

This is great opportunity for students to develop their skills in an industry context and get their work noticed. If you think this is something your students would be interested in, please let us know and we’ll be happy to send you some flyers or posters to hand out (also see PDF attached). Alternatively, you can direct them to our website for more details (http://www.meritequity.com.au/movie-competition.html).

Screen Australia and ABC TV Documentaries are calling for proposals from emerging filmmakers nationwide.
Opening Shot is a series of up to 6 x 29-minute documentary films made by filmmakers 35 years and under to premiere at prime time as a series on ABC2, a channel that aims to surprise, enthuse and provoke. The films will engage a broad audience, especially viewers aged 25–39.
We are looking for films with something to say. The series will be a window into contemporary Australian life that is insightful and entertaining. The stories and treatments will be compelling and promotable.
Apart from these broad parameters, the films will reflect the personal talents and vision of their makers. They will employ a range of different storytelling devices. They will move forward the careers of their authors.
The Commissioning Editor for the ABC will be Head of Documentaries, Alan Erson. Screen Australia will also appoint an Executive Producer to the projects
