The MovieFest Charitable Trust is now accepting registrations for the 2008 MovieFest Short Movie competition and invite you to enter this exciting and worthwhile competition.

This is the fifth time the MovieFest nation-wide short movie competition has been held. The event is designed to showcase the creativity of New Zealand movie makers, in entry categories of primary schools, secondary schools, amateurs or home hobbyists and includes an animation section in each category for the first time this year.

Entrants will once again need to produce a short three to five minute movie on a specific subject as outlined in our rules (http://www.moviefest.org.nz/guidelines.php) and entrants will have eight weeks to produce their movie.

The winners of each of the categories will receive a prize package supplied by a range of sponsors and the runners up will also receive prizes. The judging format will be the same as last year to ensure all entrants have an equal chance of getting their movie into the final selection. All movies will be appraised at a national level and the best three in each section of the three categories will be forwarded for final judging.

The topic for this years competition will be announced on Monday 4th August and entrants will have until 3rd October to complete their movie. Public screenings will be held in the Expressions Theatre in Upper Hutt on Friday 7th and Saturday 8th November and the Awards Ceremony will take place at 3:30pm on the Saturday afternoon at the conclusion of the screenings.
