SCORING

Points will be awarded for including the specified items in the films, and you will have to
seek them out – Scavenger Hunt style. You can include the items anyway you like, your character
can walk past one, or you can set a scene at a location, whatever fits your story best.

Additional points are also up for grabs if you use the 2009 theme ‘Stake Out’.
You don’t have to use the theme, but more points are available to you if you do.

Be playful and creative! We want to see Canberra in new and interesting ways.

Points will also be awarded by the judges for story, camera work, directing
and all of the other elements that go towards making a good short film.

You receive 10 points for each item visible in your film.
