Submission Materials
Each entry must include the following:

The files you upload should have the trimmed beginning, ensuring the first frame of each raw video file is synchronised. We recommend using a clue eg a hand-clap at the beginning to help.
Do not edit the content of the raw video beyond trimming the beginning for synchronisation.
Maximum Raw Video Duration: 15 minutes per video. You may choose to use shorter footage.
2: Edit Decision List Document
A Google Sheets document detailing your edits, referencing the source raw video files, so we can understand and appreciate your creative choices.
The EDL document must include:
- From Time Code: The start time of the clip in the edit, in mins:sec:frames (e.g., 00:05:30:15).
- To Time Code: The end time of the clip used in the edit.

Please find a sample EDL below. We recommend downloading it to use.
