Projectorhead Competition for International Students

Competition organiser:
Education UK
Information: Education UK have launched a new video diaries campaign for international students in the UK. Projectorhead encourages international students to create videos of their UK experience to share with other students around the world. The videos will be posted on the Projectorhead YouTube channel (http://uk.youtube.com/projectorhead), where viewers will be encouraged to watch and rate them.

Projectorhead videos are all about sharing experiences as an international student in the UK. They can be about people, places, films, music, events – anything goes, not just education.
Lack of technical ability or film-making experience should not hold anyone back. Whether the video is a lavishly directed masterpiece or recorded in-between lessons on a mobile phone – it doesn’t matter. All submissions are welcome.

To find out more and upload videos visit the Projectorhead website now.
Prizes: Students who create the most popular videos will be rewarded with a prize worth up to £200. They can choose from:
• Apple iPod Touch
• Nintendo Wii
• Canon Camcorder
• Panasonic Digital Camera
How to enter: To find out more and upload videos, visit the Projectorhead website: http://www.projectorhead.org
Who can enter? To enter this competition you must currently be an international student in the UK.
Closing date: This is an ongoing competition, with a prize awarded every 2 months to the most popular video.
