DEADLINE: March 28, 2010
At Sony Professional we are embarking on an exciting opportunity to find the UK’s next great video producer.
Phase 1 – to find the regional winner…
Phase 1 of the Sony PROduction Awards starts on February 15th. Aspiring film makers will be invited to submit a short video they’ve created, where it will be viewed and judged by other visitors to the site. To coincide with the launch of Sony’s new NXCAM camcorder, we’re looking for producers to submit videos around the theme of “infinite memory” lasting no more than 3 minutes. The producer whose video receives the most votes will be crowned the UK winner and receive a free copy of the latest version of the award-winning Sony Vegas Pro editing suite and see their video posted on Sony’s YouTube channel.
