Horizon Visuals proudly invites you to participate in our highly anticipated annual video creativity contest! This event is a cornerstone of our commitment to fostering talent within the visual arts community, offering both seasoned professionals and aspiring creators a dynamic platform to exhibit their craft. This year, we challenge you to explore the evocative theme: 'Coastal Reflections'.
The Australian coastline, with its rugged cliffs, golden sands, vibrant marine life, and ever-changing light, provides a rich tapestry for visual storytelling. We encourage you to interpret this theme through your unique lens, whether it's a poignant short film exploring human connection to the sea, a documentary snippet capturing the delicate ecosystems, or an abstract concept video reflecting the interplay of light and water.
We are seeking entries that demonstrate not only technical skill in videography and editing but also originality in concept and compelling visual storytelling. Your submission should make us feel the salt spray, see the shimmering light, and hear the rhythm of the waves. It's an opportunity to push your creative boundaries and share your passion with a wider audience.
Join us in celebrating the power of visual media and the breathtaking beauty of our coastal landscapes. This contest is more than just a competition; it's a celebration of creativity, a chance to gain valuable exposure, and an invitation to connect with a community that shares your love for film and videography. We eagerly await your compelling interpretations of 'Coastal Reflections'.
Unleash your creativity! Produce a short video, no longer than 3 minutes in duration, that vividly captures your interpretation of the 'Coastal Reflections' theme. This is your opportunity to tell a compelling story, showcase stunning visuals, or explore innovative concepts related to the coastline. Ensure your video adheres strictly to the technical specifications detailed in the official Contest Terms & Conditions, covering aspects like resolution, aspect ratio, and file format to guarantee compatibility and optimal viewing experience during judging.
Once your masterpiece is complete and polished, upload it to a publicly accessible video hosting platform such as YouTube or Vimeo. Make sure the video link is shareable. Then, navigate to the entry form located on this page (scroll down to the Contact/Entry section). Carefully fill out all required fields, including your full name, contact email, and the direct link to your uploaded video. Double-check all information for accuracy before submitting.
Boost your entry's visibility and connect with fellow participants by sharing your video link on your social media channels! Be sure to use the official contest hashtag #HorizonVisualsContest so we can find and feature your work. Our esteemed panel of judges will diligently review all eligible submissions based on creativity, technical merit, and interpretation of the theme. Winners will be officially announced shortly after the submission deadline via email and prominently featured on our website and social media platforms. Good luck!
