The Competition


The complete rules will be posted once the contest opens.  But in the meantime, here are some guidelines:

  1. Keep it real and keep it short - four minutes duration, maximum.
  2. Create something that celebrates your University - U of T the way you see it.
  3. Shoot on a cell phone, handy cam, digital camera or whatever you can get your hands on.
  4. Focus on the big idea, not the production values.  If your overarching concept ends up winning, a professional will help you develop it to perfection.
  5. Open to all registered U of T students.
