What’s the total prize pool for this year�s FoA competition?
Some readers will think $70,000 – this was the total when we first advertised the program
Some may think $80,000 – we received a bunch more stuff including the ability to bring International winners here – we also printed a smaller run of promotional material (cost stopped us doing more).
A few later may have received the even smaller run we produced saying $90,000
In fact, this year�s prizes now well exceed $90,000!
The quality of the prizes is simply outstanding and, aside from the chance for overseas winners to join us in September for the finals, domestic entrants stand a chance of spending 10 weeks (yes, that’s weeks!) in Los Angeles attending TAFTA – check ’em out online: http://tafta.com.au/wp-content/blogs.dir/3/files/2013/09/LABrochure.pdf.
But the prizes aren’t the only attraction. Finalists and winners get an invitation to come to Sydney for the best night going – the Focusonability finals on September 4th – you get the full red carpet, see your film on the big screen, mingle with the celebs (more than a few perform with the celebrities!).
There may be better nights on offer but we don�t know where.
44 days till international entries close and 75 days for domestic entries � plenty of time for either so get filming and help us break down barriers for people with disability.
