Submissions are to be in by late August 2017. Final submission date to be confirmed. Entries can be from individuals or groups. All entrant(s) must either email to [email protected] or include on the submitted USB a document stating the entrant(s): name, date of birth, current residential address, country of birth, contact telephone number and email address. No age restriction for entrants. There is no charge to submit a film. Films will be privately judged by a panel of independent local dignitaries on the following elemental criteria:
Narrative (%50)/Sound (%16)/Editing (%16)/Visuals (%18)
For every film, each judge's score from each element is aggregated. For example, Film 'X' could score for 'Narrative' from each judge:
Judge A) Narrative (34/50)
Judge B) Narrative (30/50)
Judge C) Narrative (37/50)
The total for 'Narrative' for Film 'X' is the aggregate of each judge's score, 33.67. This is repeated for Sound, Editing and Visuals, resulting in a total score (maximum score is 100). There is a more significant weighting for 'Narrative' as the competition encourages content that emphasises the cinematic art of storytelling. www.festival.ningalens.com
Additional cash prizes (amounts to be announced, subject to sponsorship and operating costs of the competition/event) and prizes donated by local businesses are to be announced closer to the final submission date. Ningalens Film Competition 2017 is to be organised and managed by Exmouth's local amateur projectionist, Pete Firth. Pete ran a regular and well attended outdoor cinema, "Pottywood", during autumn/winter in the beer garden of the Potshot Hotel Resort in 2013, 2014, 2015 and has co-ordinated and organised the Smarter than Smoking Ningalens Film Comp 2015, Ningalens Film Competition 2016 as well as the highly successful 2014 and 2015 "Family Film Night at the Ningaloo Whale Shark Festival" events in Federation Park, Exmouth. Pete was on tour with the Gascoyne in May 2016 and June 2017 crew presenting the series of outdoor cinema events: Seaside Cinema. Pete is also an owner/operator with Exmouth's newest restaurant/microbrewery: Froth Craft.
