What is the context of the competition?
Camera House is seeking to encourage
participation in videography and facilitate relationships with aspiring filmmakers
throughout Australia. We supply the attached policy as a reflection of this commitment to
furthering the interests of filmmakers and seek to provide an outlet for filmmakers to
engage with interested viewers. At all levels we are seeking to be fair and reasonable in
our dealings with you the filmmaker and the general public and to assist you with idea
generation, to promote your film and to assist the industry. If we happen to sell you a
camera along the way, then that’d be just great too.
Exclusivity ? Non-exclusive usage rights for one year after submission
We ask that the Non-exclusive usage rights
extend for one year from the date of submission. It’s sure not like we want to own your
content forever, just to be able to use it for a year.
What about usage and editing?
We also ask that you assign us the
Non-exclusive right to use, promote, commercialise and display the submission for one year;
and a right to edit and create derivative works such as clips from the Film, so that we can
perhaps add licensed music to it, add a Camera House top and tail or fit a clip into
promotional material, and generally have some fun with the content you supply without
stomping on your artistic integrity. From a period starting at six months from the
submission date, the filmmaker may upload submitted content on personal Non-commercial
websites (including but not limited to Facebook and YouTube) for Non-commercial Film and
Filmmaker publicity and promotion purposes only. For the avoidance of doubt the Filmmaker is
not permitted to sell or assign the rights to the Film for any commercial purpose or reward
during the period starting at one year from the submission date. This includes providing
access to the Film for terrestrial, satellite, and cable broadcast platforms, OTT channels,
DTH channels, SVOD services, telecommunication package, travel related platforms including
hotels or websites deriving any form of revenue or promotional benefit directly or
indirectly.
What is the Communication criteria?
We will not confirm in writing (email) if
submission has been accepted or not accepted.

we publicly display your content. We are undertaking no obligation to do so.
Specification of the video?

anything photography. Please don’t submit anything you know to be inappropriate, illegal or
content likely to be offensive . We just won’t publish it so best to not waste your time or
ours . Videos need to ideally be in .mov or Mp4 format. The file for the video MUST be named

redeemable for cash. Each prize must be taken as stated and no compensation will be payable
if a winner is unable to use the prize as stated.
Am I open to enter any film festival or sell my content elsewhere?
We welcome any participant to make cash from
the content they supply to us. We simply ask that you: a ) Have the rights to all of the
content you supply us. This includes talent, music, and any other inclusions within your
submission. This needs to be explicit. Implied permission or assumptions can cause problems.
These problems will be yours. By submitting content you are warranting that you own the
rights to the content. And you are indemnifying Camera House from any actions arising if you
have failed to secure these rights. b ) Assign us the Non-exclusive rights to use submitted
content for our usage as outlined further below. This means that you probably can’t offer
exclusive usage rights to this content elsewhere. But we are always happy to chat about how
this best suits you, the filmmaker. And we will always try to be fair and pragmatic in our
dealings with you, but obviously if you win our competition we would love to be actively
promoting your content and don’t want to be prevented from doing so.
And what about the soundtrack or any included music?
If you are submitting the video content with a
soundtrack, you need to ensure that unlimited usage of the content is included or that you
are the content owner. If in doubt, content should be submitted without a soundtrack so we
can manage or add our own.

Evaluation criteria ?
The judges decision is final and not subject to
any appeal for reconsideration. The judge, Chis Whiting, is a professional videographer and
more than capable of assessing the submissions on artistic merit. As there is an element of
subjectivity in the selection process, we ask that you respect his decision as a
professional and know that he considers execution, strength of idea, creativity, expression
and a myriad of other elements when assessing the winners. He doesn’t take this decisioning
lightly. Nor do we. Not everyone will like your creative ideas all the time. Be ok with it.
It will serve you better in the long term. Be cool, and live well. Deadline for submissions
midnight May 13th 2018. Top 3 videos will be published to our Facebook page on the 15th May
at 1pm. Winner being decided and announced Monday the 21st May at 9am. The submission with
the highest score based on facebook “likes“ will win. In the event of a tie in the social
media voting scenario, judges vote will count as final.
