  Electronic Theatre: Additional Requirements

 

Instructions

Work in progress should only be submitted if 80 percent of the final version is complete. If the soundtrack is not complete, the jury requests the addition of a temporary soundtrack. If your submission is longer then five minutes, please clearly indicate by timecode the selections of your work that you wish to be viewed by the jury. Submit only one project or entry per DVD-R. Collaborative and group projects are encouraged but only one completed project per videotape will be accepted: one entry and one DVD-R. Please test your DVD-R on both PC and Mac Platforms before submission.

Do NOT submit the following:

  • Video Tape (ANY format), VideoCD, CD-ROM (except for the digital still image), film, Web sites, stereoscopic images, or other forms of display. They are not accepted for jury review. Do not submit NTSC Masters.
  • Videos that include commercial watermarks or "bugs." Videos that include these devices will not be reviewed.
  • More than one entry or completed project per DVD-R. DVD-Rs containing more than one project or entry will not be reviewed.
  • Fibre or pulp-padded mailers for DVD-Rs. If these mailers tear, the fibres can damage your DVD-R and our playback equipment. DVD-Rs sent in these mailers will not be reviewed.

Customs

Submitters located outside of Australia should note that customs delays of up to two weeks could occur. Customs labels should bear the words: "Educational material with no commercial value."

Conclusion

For some submitters, meeting the Electronic Theatre deadline is a difficult and sometimes frustrating challenge. Generally, the frustration increases as the deadline draws near. We encourage you to complete your online form and prepare as many of the submission requirements (written descriptions, still image, and final digital file) as early as possible. Do not wait until your project is complete before you begin the submission process.
If you have any questions, please refer to, or email, the Electronic Theatre Chairs.

We will look forward to seeing your submission. Good luck!
