LAUNCH

The Ulster Cancer Foundation (UCF) and the Northern Ireland Melanoma Strategy implementation group (NIMSIG) are launching the competition to raise awareness of Skin Cancer across Northern Ireland this summer.

 

JUDGING

Contestants are being offered the chance to show their work to leaders in the Northern Ireland film and entertainment industry, who are kindly giving their time to judge this competition -

“It's certainly challenging to squeeze any film idea into just sixty seconds, but if you have enough imagination anything is possible. Entrants should be as creative as they can - whether it's sun protection on the beach or an artistic animation. The theme should release a host of possibilities.”

The under 18s winner will receive a cash prize of £150

 

Special Category – Media Student entry will receive a cash prize of £150
