The City Promotion and Tourism Department encourages inhabitants to attend the 9th edition of the competition for a short video about Wroclaw that has inscribed in the cultural calendar of Wroclaw events. After a few years of break, 'Wroclaw turns you on? Shoot a video about Wroclaw’ returns to give artists an opportunity to discover the uniqueness of the capital of Lower Silesia. Winners can win cash prizes as well as courses and gifts allowing them to develop professionally.
Subject-matter and aim of the competition
The competition is addressed both to professionals, advertising agencies and amateurs. Video materials should last 30 or 60 seconds. This year, three main prizes will be awarded in the following categories: ‘General video about Wroclaw’, ‘Wroclaw Dwarfs’ and ‘Animation’.
The submitted films should reflect the original character and climate of Wroclaw and constitute an interpretation of the competition slogan: ‘Wroclaw turns you on? Shoot a video about Wroclaw’. Participants will have an opportunity to show their own perception of Wroclaw – how the city inspires them, what they find attractive about it and what makes them feel good in it.
