The National Campus Film Fest (NCFF) is a national short film competition which attracts entries from tertiary students across the AACA network. The competition is a celebration of creativity.

Categories are:

• Short Film – (max 8min) with theme TBA
• Music clip – (max 3 mins)
• Infomercial – (max 2 mins)
• Peoples Choice

These four NCFF categories are judged on their entertainment value, originality, innovation and soundtrack. The 2011 NCFF encourages all amateur filmmakers – novice to expert – to give it a go. Each participating campus advertises the national competition broadly to their student market. If required, campus/regions will conduct finals to determine which films will compete in the national competition.

This competition represents a unique opportunity for industry partners wishing to gain exposure in the national tertiary education market. To enter you must be a currently enrolled tertiary student.

Entry is free and online at www.aaca.net.au. Check the terms and conditions of entry.
