How to enter
​
Step 1 - Make a film!
The theme is outdoor advenutue, and we are giving the words 'outdoors' and 'adventure' a broad interpretation! Your film doesnt have to be Oscar-worthy for us to screen it. We are interested in everything - home videos, documentry, drama, comedy, silent picture, film-noir - whatever!
​
Remeber, your audience will be UQMC members and alumni who will just be excited to watch whatever campy videos the club's members have come up with.
​
If you have never filmed or edited a video before, then this is a great opportunity to try it out for the first time!

Will my film be screened?
​
We will aim to screen every submission that meets our technical requirements.
In the unlikely event that we receive too many submissions, then we will make an announcement about shortlisting films by 7 October 2026.
