Young People + Film + Sustainability
The Outlook for Someday challenge is to make a short sustainability-related film. It can be any genre, filmed with any camera and any length up to 5 minutes. Anyone up to age 24 can enter, either individually or in a team.
Entrants are encouraged to interpret 'sustainability' in the way that makes sense to them.
The 20 winning films - selected by judges from the fields of media, education, government and business - will be celebrated at The Someday Awards red-carpet ceremony towards the end of the year. There will also be a vote for Audience Favourite.
The prizes for The Outlook for Someday film challenge in 2012 will be posted on the project website at www.theoutlookforsomeday.net/prizes

Win the DOC Big Picture Award
The Big Picture logo
DOC is sponsoring the Big Picture Award. This is a special award for a winning film focusing on one or more of DOC's 'Big Ideas and Values'.
What do we mean about the 'Big Ideas and Values'? Simply these express how we are all part of the natural world. We are all part of one great ecosystem. Without our fresh air, water, seas, fertile soils, forests, animals and plants we humans couldn't survive. Every thing, even the tiniest of bugs, has a role to play, including us. What we do does make a difference.
