The Mays is no longer just about poetry and prose. Because this year – right now in fact – we are launching the very first Mays Short Film Competition.
Submissions of films under one hour in length (though they can be much shorter) and of any genre are invited from anyone currently studying at the Universities of Oxford or Cambridge. These may be narrative, documentary, impressionistic or otherwise.
The closing date for the competition is April 26 2010.
Our panel of boffins will assess all submissions and shortlisted entries will be screened at a maysMovies showcase evening, at the end of which the winner will be announced.
Hard copy entries may be mailed to: Elliot Ross, St John’s College, Cambridge, CB2 1TP
Links to online versions of films can also be sent to: mays@varsity.co.uk
It certainly won’t be the last time the prize is contested – the Mays is here to stay and we plan to run the film competition for as long as students are making good films in Cambridge or Oxford. But there will only ever be one inaugural winner. You?
