Change to competition

Please note the following in addition to previously published rules and prizes.

It had not been our intention to enable the most online votes prize or, indeed, to enable the voting function for International entries.

They are too good and so we have (that’s enabled voting) and we are going to dig up some additonal prize(s) for most online votes (International entrants). Don’t know what form any prize will take but we’ve had numerous requests for voting so it’s now possible to vote for your favourite.

Usual rules: 1 vote per person and please don’t use dud email addresses we do check all!

And a reminder; viewing isn’t voting, you need to click the ‘vote now’ button bottom right for each film
