The 24-Hour DV Challenge



Do you have an interest in Film-making or Digital Video?  Would you like to participate in Washington College's 6th annual 24-Hour Digital Video Challenge?  

The 24-Hour DV Challenge has been a highly popular video competition, hosted by WC's Multimedia Production Center over the last five years. Participants form a team to create a short film in just one day. The challenge increases with a list of criteria you must include in your video that you won't receive until the start of the competition. Teams must have at least one WC alumna/us on them, and final videos must include only footage produced and edited during the 24-hour window. The winning alumni team earns bragging rights and a $150 Amazon.com gift card.

See highlights from the 2008 Screening and Awards.

Competition:
The primary time window is 4/1/11 at 5:30 PM to 4/2/11 at 5:30 PM.
A secondary window of 4/2/11 at 5:30 PM to 4/3/11 at 5:30 PM is available to help those with scheduling conflicts.  You must choose one time slot.

Screening and Awards:
A screening of the films and awards for the winning teams will take place 4/11/11 at 7:30 PM in Hodson Hall in the Egg. The best video production will receive the prize of a $150 Amazon.com gift card.

You are not required to come to campus to participate!
As much as we'd love to have our alumni teams producing their films on campus and in the MPC lab, you are not required to travel to campus to participate.  If you live too far away to make the trip, please consider forming your team locally and submitting your film electronically (for timestamp) and follow up with a DVD in the mail for the screening.  If you do want to come to campus to participate, you can bring your own equipment to use, or borrow gear from us!

All skill level filmmakers welcome!  No cost to enter!  Please contact us by 3/31 at the latest if you wish to participate.

For more information, or to register, contact Brian Palmer, Manager of the Multimedia Production Center, at
