Everyone! Whether you’re a pro or never touched a camera before this challenge is for YOU! The competition is open to everyone, whether you’re a student at King’s, another university, or a member of the public & if you don’t have a team, enter as an individual and we will assign you one!

What about equipment?

Your team will need to provide their own equipment but some incredible films have been made on camera phones in the last couple of years so don’t worry if you don’t have the newest video camera on the market! Google films shot on an iPhone to see some examples.
