Hi everyone,
I am writing to let you know that our Christmas short film competition The Nativity Factor is back for a second year, in case any of you are interested in entering (or know anyone who might be)!
As before, the winning prize is ?5,000 (or ?1,000 for the under-16's competition) for whoever can re-tell the story of the Nativity in as creative a way as possible (while remaining faithful to the original story, of course). You don't need to be a professional film-maker to enter - all you need is an idea and a camera!
Entry conditions:
Free to enter
Up to 3 minutes in length
Any video format
Check out last year's winning entries:

If you're stuck for inspiration, or just want a laugh, we've also commissioned YouTube animator Weebl to make his own version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OJAGGH_NnU
If any of you have any questions, please let me know, I'll be happy to answer them.
