Submissions are now being accepted. You can also join the eGroup if you want to keep in touch with what's happening on the project. Some of your questions about format etc may be answered already in our FAQs.

There will be a theme for each Cycle (a Cycle will include a DVD and hopefully a local live performance and screenings in other cities). The first Cycle's theme is:

Light and Night

You can use existing work as long as it's in some way related to the theme, but you'll need to edit to make sure it meets our one really strict criteria of being 3 minutes long (or ideally, 2 minutes and 50 seconds - with a 5 second gap at each end). You don't have to be literal in your interpretation of the theme, as long as you can justify a relationship to the theme in some way.

Hopefully that's enough info for you to get collaborating with others and working on your submissions.

Closing date for the first Cycle is 31st December 2005. (put back due to lask of $ - gives you more time! :)

Not all Submissions will be selected for inclusion in the Project. There will be a curatorial/selection process where works will be assessed by both the 3minutes.net Committee and invited Industry experts. Factors considered will include the quality of the work, the appropriateness to the theme and also the goals of the Project (eg, level of collaboration).

All entries must be accompanied by a completed Media License and Release Form - choose either A4 Word doc or Letter Word Doc . Let us know if you need an alternative format.

Please also enclose with your entry:

• Brief CVs of all participants/creators
• Synopsis (max 50 words)
• Short description of the way it was created (eg, the process of collaboration etc)
• Short description of the piece and how it fits the theme (200 words)

The mailing address is on the Release Form.
