Filmmakers who have dreamed of seeing their work on the big screen are to be offered the opportunity to make that ambition a reality. Each month from January 2014 filmmakers will be able to enter a two minute film for the competition organised by Big Screen Bradford. The winning entry will be showcased on the screen for one month with information about the film maker.
The 12 finalists from the year will be judged by a panel of senior media executives and the winner will receive a £1,000 prize with the further opportunity to profile their work on the screen.
Up to 300,000 people pass the screen each month – offering unprecedented exposure for filmmakers to showcase their work.
Films offered for consideration may be on any subject but must not exceed two minutes in duration. The content must be suitable to be viewed by people of all ages.
Entries should include name, photograph with a short explanation on why the film is important.
You can email them to us at submit@bigscreenbradford.com marked on the subject line “Filmmaker of the month”.
