Our first ever Polish video contest has closed and we thought you might appreciate a bit more of an in-depth write up on how the process between close and winner announcements works, and an indication of how many entered and were shortlisted.
So for MOFILM Wroclaw 2011 we had two contests open, Chevrolet Route 66 and Chevrolet. Route 66 had around 20 entries, of which about half were shortlisted. Chevrolet had over 50 entries with 40 shortlisted. The standard on both was amazing, especially around the opportunities brief. The Chevrolet client who picked the winners said, ‘it was the hardest contest they’d had to judge!’ So congratulations to all who entered.
We know that one of the most frustrating things for the filmmakers that enter our contest is the wait between the close and the winner announcement, especially for the 2 – 5 place spots. There are lots of reasons why it can take a while but it all boils down to we need to make sure that the content is all clear from a legal and music rights perspective before we can make it public. We’ve been revamping our processes and have invested in building a team that is dedicated to making it all happen much, much faster. Which is why for this contest, within 60 hours of the contest closing all the winners had been informed, and within 72 hours the winners page is up!
How’s that for speedy service!
We can only move this fast thanks to you all getting your CCA, Talent release and music forms completed properly and back to us in good time, so a huge thank you to everyone who did. We’re working on making the process even faster and will keep you up to date on what we’re up to.
An update on the Peps Films Poland contest will follow later this week and don’t forget Pepsi Films Rio is open, as is MOFILM Lollapalooza, MOFILM Taj Mahal and the Script contest for Chevrolet Super Bowl!
