Visual Response #5 - Woman
Australia Infront are back for their first Visual Response for the year, #05 and it is MASSIVE. With over 11k (yep) in prizes up for grabs, you have no excuse not to enter. The theme is ‘Woman’ and they are asking for A2 artworks. Why? Because they are going into an exhibition being held at The Compound Interest in Melbourne on the 8th of July 2011.
Everything you need to know can be found here: http://www.australianinfront.com.au/involved
Deadline for artwork submissions is the Monday the 27th of June 2011 at 11pm AEST, so you have just under a month to take part. They’d love to have everyone from the community get involved, it’s a great opportunity to get away from your corporate deadlines and have some fun with a one word brief. It’s free to enter and the prizes are pretty darn fantastic this time around. Studios, we want you to take part too.
Hope you can submit something!

MVMU
Calling all bands, musicians and filmmakers!! The Music Video Mash Up is a filmmaking festival where bands and filmmaking teams are randomly paired up and have just three days to create, shoot and edit a music video worthy of the BIG (and small) screen!
Once paired, the newly formed teams will have the Queen’s Birthday Long Weekend (June 10-13) to create a concept, prepare, shoot and edit the music video before returning on Monday night to the designated drop off point in their city. Clips are judged by a panel of local industry experts and will be in the running for some amazing prizes as well as the chance to take out the major award and be crowned winners of the Best Music Video, which will be screened nationally on Video Hits!
Bands – all you need is a pre-recorded original song.
Filmmakers – all you need is a camera and a crew.
Once you have your song or your filmmaking team, register online and then turn up at the launch for the ultimate extreme music video making weekend!
