My World in 60 Seconds - A GA/BBC Film Project
THE COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED. RESULTS COMING SOON!
|
| Important Update: Relaxation on format for submissions |
When we launched the competition last year, we received a number of emails questioning the limited format for submissions for the My World in 60 Seconds project.
Following further discussions with the BBC, we have negotiated a variety of formats for the submission of completed films, which we think will make it a lot easier for schools to submit their work and take part in the project. The emphasis still needs to be on the highest possible quality of video file.
New formats that are now available are: High Quality DVD or High Quality Quicktime Movie.

My World in 60 Seconds is a film project to create an alternative guide to our world, a guide that is created by you. We want to re-present the world as people know it, so we're looking for young people to make short films that are thought provoking, insightful and engaging.
60 seconds is just long enough to guide someone through part of your world, to show what it is really like for you. We want films that show people your lived geographies...
We have teamed up with the BBC so that the best films can appear on BBC Big Screens across the country. A panel of judges will watch all the films and the ones that in their opinion best reflect what we are looking for could be shown. These films will also appear online as part of a guide to our world.
