WJEC Moving Image Awards 2014

Moving Image Awards

WJEC’s new Moving Image Awards are designed to recognise the best moving image productions made by students aged 14-19 at schools and colleges offering WJEC qualifications.

The awards are organised by WJEC and supported by the British Film Institute. The shortlisted entries will be screened at an awards ceremony at the BFI on Friday 19 September 2014. Shortlisted entrants will be contacted directly and the full programme for the awards ceremony will be published on WJEC’s website in July.

The Categories

1. Film sequence (any genre)
   This could be an opening, title, closing or climactic sequence from any genre of film.
2. Short film 
   This should consist of a complete narrative rather than a film extract.
3. Music video
   This should either use an original music track (e.g. by a local band/artist) or, for established bands/artists, one without an existing video.
4. TV sequence 
   This could be an opening, title or key sequence from any genre of TV programme.

There will be a prize for the winning entrant/s in each of the four categories, as well as one overall individual prize and one prize for the best entry for an individual under the age of 16.
