BBC Digital Revolution - competition

The BBC has, for the first time ever, uploaded raw rushes onto the internet with a view to getting UK film makers to edit the footage in any way they wish. The best new cuts will be in with a chance of winning unique prizes including a spot on the BBC Homepage, attending a documentary masterclass at the BBC and a meeting with a BBC Multiplatform Commissioning Executive. This is an inclusive and exciting opportunity for student and graduate filmmakers.

Footage from interviews including Tim Berners Lee, Stephen Fry and Biz Stone are available, with entries for the competition open from 14th December 2009 to 3rd January 2010. You can check out the video explaining this amazing initiative here.
