Smoking Short Film Competition

Date: 10 Jun 2012

Short Film Competition

Smokefree

South West and Cut Films are proud to announce a very special short film competition for young people in the South West.

Evidence suggests that young people are more likely to be attracted by designed tobacco packs, than by plain packs.

So we are asking young people across the South West to give their views on plain packaging in film, as part of a the national Cut Films short film competition.

Follow these five easy steps to enter

1.  Research plain packaging (www.plainpacksprotect.co.uk is a good start!)

 2.  Write a script

 3.  Make a film

 4.  Upload it to the Cut Films website under: Plain Packs - Smokefree South West  2012

 5.   Get your friends, family and community to vote for it!

 Download the South West Cut Films poster and get started>>

 Judging and prizes

There will be two winners:

Prizes will be announced shortly but will include a iPads, cinema tickets, vouchers, workshop from a commercials film director and tickets to local attractions. Winning film makers will be invited to a glitzy award ceremony in Taunton.
