Enter Spacing's "My Toronto Video Contest"

[Matthew Blackett]

Hello photographers --

While you might be still image whizzes, some of you may also be into film and video. If that's the case, you may want to consider this contest Spacing is running. 

Please spread the word to others who may not be on this list.

Enter Spacing's "My Toronto Video Contest" Spacing Magazine and Live With Culture launch a video contest that lets Torontonians conceive and direct their own commercial marketing  Toronto. Toronto has always been a hard place to sum up -- slick marketing campaigns are often criticized for not getting to the heart of what makes this city great and why people should visit. Now all Torontonians have the chance to make their own commercial and show off what they love about it for Spacing's My Toronto Video Contest. Over the summer, we're asking interested folks to put together a 30-second commercial for Toronto. Using camcorders, camera phones, or even still cameras, participants have complete creative control on their project. As each short is completed it will be uploaded it to the Spacing YouTube group for the public to view and get some viral traction outside of Toronto. The commercials will also be judged both by jury and popular vote, and the best will be shown at a public event after the submission deadline. Famous places like the CN Tower are fine, but in making these commercials, Spacing is asking folks to think about the subtle stuff in their neighbourhoods -- from Malvern to Kensington to Long Branch -- that makes Toronto unique. In the end we hope to get a magnificent collection of short films about Toronto that will circulate all over via the internet. Spacing is actively encouraging people in all corners of the city to participate -- we want to see those beautiful sunsets between Rexdale or Agincourt high-rises -- and asking the public to help spread the word to any and all budding creative directors or Spielbergs who may not be traditionally tuned into Spacing events or contests of this nature. For more information and requirements go to: www.spacing.ca/mytoronto Email Shawn Micallef with any questions: sh...@spacing.ca SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Friday, September 7th with an exhibition to follow. Spacing is grateful for the support of Live With Culture on this project.
