Win a custom built high end mobile workstation with Muvizu!

Anyone can scoop a prize this summer by producing a winning film with free Muvizu 3D animation software. To celebrate its sponsorship of the 18th Raindance Film Festival, Muvizu is inviting video submissions to a prize competition for the event. Winners will be announced after a screening of the finalists at the 18th Raindance Film Festival.

It's very simple:
- Create a video clip, about anything you like, of up to one minute and 30 seconds long using Muvizu 3D beta animation software. This is freely downloadable from www.muvizu.com - if you are not a Muvizu member, you must register as one (this is also free) to enter the competition

- Post your film on YouTube via the upload facility in the Muvizu 3D application or via your profile on the Muvizu website. When uploading, set the privacy option to "Private (only specific YouTube users can view)". You must also start the description of your competition entry film with the words "Submission for Muvizu prize competition at Raindance Film Festival" and send the url of your film to raindance@muvizu.com and include your name and preferred contact details

The final date for submissions is October 10, 2010. Entries will be judged by a Raindance-selected panel of experts and winners will be notified via the contact details they have provided.

Videos must be original works containing only material that you have created, or which is copyright-free; this applies to all images, audio tracks, music, embedded video files, dialogue and any other assets that you include in your work.

Your competition entry should be uploaded to YouTube at the highest resolution you can manage, so use the 1024 x 720 option. Be sure to keep the .set file from which the .avi file is outputted. If your entry is chosen as a winner, we may ask you to send us the .set file so that we may output it again at a resolution suitable for large-screen showings.

You must be at least 13 years old to enter the competition in your own right, but if you are a dependent member of a Muvizu gatekeeper account, your gatekeeper may submit an entry or entries on behalf of you or your group.

The judges’ decision is final, and no cash or alternative prizes are available.
