Video Contest: Best Bermuda You Can Imagine
In conjunction with the Masterworks Museum’s “Tribute to John Lennon”, a variety of organizations have come together to spark the imaginations of our island’s young people.
In the spirit of Lennon’s most famous song, “Imagine” – a call to live in peace as one – Imagine Bermuda is sponsoring a Cell Phone Video Competition. The production, limited to 2 minutes, is asking young people to respond to the theme:
“Consider what you appreciate about our island and what you would like to change; tell us about the best Bermuda you can Imagine”
This call to get creative with cell phones, opens the possibility for two young people to win a prize of $700 each. All competing films are to be uploaded to Imagine Bermuda’s Facebook page, along with the filmmaker’s name and age.
The public are invited to view the films and ‘Like’ their favourites. A short-list of finalists will be selected by “Likes” and panel review with the final decisions being made by our panel of judges. Judges will pick one winner from each category of the Under 18 and Under 25 age groups. The deadline for entries is June 14th.
While the judges will consider the creativity and content of the presentations, they will also take into account the proposed use of the prize money towards a personal growth fund for the winner.
The productions may also be done collaboratively, with the team sharing the prize. Finalist productions will be aired on ZBM TV and screened during the ‘John Lennon Tribute’ at Masterworks Museum on June 21st.
It is in the spirit of collaboration that this project is moving forward. Three after school workshops will be offered by Kevin Lombard, Masterworks Museum’s artist-in-residence, at the Bermuda International Film Festival on 22 May, 29 May and 5 June from 4.30pm to 6.00pm. He will explain the pros and cons of making videos with cell phones and provide “How to” guidance to help students to develop their skills and tell their story.
BIFF, Chewstick, FIL Limited, Imagine Bermuda, Masterworks and ZBM TV are collaborating in putting this project together.
