ENTRIES opened this week for a new short film competition to promote issues of access and inclusion in the region.
Tweed Shire Council’s Aged and Disability Development officer Karen Collins said the competition was open to all Northern Rivers and Gold Coast residents and held in conjunction with the first annual Tweed Access and Inclusion Awards.
“We are inviting people to create a film of up to three minutes on the theme My Life, My Story, My Community,” Ms Collins said.
“We would like entrants to use film to explore the ideas of access and social inclusion for everyone and to answer the question ’in what ways have universal access and social inclusion influenced your life, your story and your community?’,” she said.
Entry to the competition is free and will close on Friday 15 November 2013.
Members of the community will then be able to view the entries on council’s website and vote for their favourites, to choose a shortlist of six finalists.
“Those shortlisted films will then be screened at the Tweed Access and Inclusion Awards presentation ceremony on 3 December, where the film competition winners will be announced,” Ms Collins said.
