screen it! 2006 asks students to make a splash!
The Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) is calling on all Australian school students to dive into Screen It! 2006, ACMI's national moving image competition. Following the run-away success of Screen It! 2005, ACMI is opening up this year's Screen It! to Australian secondary students for the first time.
The theme for Screen It! 2006 is water and ACMI is challenging students to ride the wave of creativity and produce a short film, computer game, animation, flash animation or mobile phone film.
Winners of Screen It! 2006 will receive cash prizes and have their works displayed in ACMI's Memory Grid, one of ACMI's most popular and visited attractions, which currently features early works from directors such as Jane Campion (The Piano), Gillian Armstrong (Little Women) and Phillip Noyce (Patriot Games) animators such as Sejong Park (Birthday Boy) and Adam Elliot (Harvey Krumpet).
Each work will be judged according to criteria such as the work's creative merit, technical difficulty, ability to address the theme and stylistic elements by a panel of industry experts.
ACMI's education staff have developed guidelines for entrants which are available at www.acmi.net.au/screenit_2006. Teachers can also download a registration form to receive a Screen It! education kit, which details how to incorporate the theme, integrate into the curriculum, and technical information on how their students can produce winning works.
Entries can be individual, group, or whole class projects. Entries close Friday 1 December 2006. All finalists will be announced in March 2007.
