Galloway Challenge 2001

The second Galloway Video Challenge will take place in South West Scotland in September 2001. The event is an innovative video making competition with participants having only a maximum of 24 hours to shoot and edit a video which can be no more than five minutes in length.

The Challenge is open to established film/video-makers, students and amateur video-makers from all over the world. You should have an idea for a short video in any genre, but have not yet had the opportunity to actually make it. Galloway invites all video-makers as individuals or as teams to come to South West Scotland and put their imagination and skills to the test.

The Challenge is intended as a showcase for new and innovative video production.
