60 Seconds to a common vision!

The prestigious Commonwealth Vision Awards, jointly organised by the Royal Commonwealth Society and the Commonwealth Broadcasting Association, encourages the making of short films o­n Commonwealth and international issues. Broadcasters and independent filmmakers from across the five regions of the Commonwealth are invited to submit initial entries by providing a written scenario for a short film, between 30-90 seconds in length. The theme for 2006 is 'The Commonwealth - respecting difference, promoting understanding'.

Up to fifteen applicants will be short-listed by an independent selection panel and awarded £1,000 each to assist in the production of the finished film. Applications may be made online - the closing date is 28 July 2006.
