MULTI-MEDIA
CREATE BOLDLY | WIN BIG
Step into the spotlight and showcase your creativity live at
The Creative Edit.
Theme: THE EDIT
One brief. One deadline. Your creative perspective.
Experience the pressure, pace and creativity of working on a real industry brief.
The Multi-Media Challenge is a live creative competition designed to test your ability to interpret, capture and communicate a story within a limited timeframe.
Competitors will receive a LIVE BRIEF on the day of The Creative Edit.
You will then work against the clock to develop your concept, capture original material, edit your work and deliver a final multimedia piece.
Your challenge is to respond creatively to the live brief revealed on the day.
Using The Creative Edit as your live creative environment, you will be required to identify the story, capture the content and transform it into an engaging final piece.
Your submission may combine different forms of media, including:
- Film & Moving Image
- Photography
- Sound & Audio
- Interviews
- Illustration & Digital Art
- Graphics & Typography
- Animation & Motion Graphics
- Social & Digital Content
Think creatively.
We are not looking for a simple event recap.
