MESAC | CALLING | for Entrants to Marine and Coastal Connections 2-minute Mobile Phone Video Competition! | closes Sat 18 July 2020

[Edited extract from public address]

Share your connection with a special coastal place for a remote general audience encouraging care and connection between people and the marine environment. 

Get out of doors (within the COVID-19 rules) and provide a mental diversion as you will find that, while fun, it’s often not so easy to explain why you love a place, or to capture it in video. Please ensure that language and content is suitable for all ages.

Exploring

Why do you care about this place and how do you connect with it? Simply talk in your video about it and show us around your special place. You may take a more scientific approach by sharing knowledge of certain species and habitats, or you may want to share family memories and other aspects of your relationship with the marine and coastal environment. Walking dogs? Rockpool rambling? Whatever you would like to share within the following requirements:

  • Competition runs until Sat 18 July 2020
  • Winners announced 08 August 2020 - first, second and third prizes!
  • Free entry
  • Videos must aim for 2 minutes in duration and be made on a mobile phone only. Anything over 3 minutes or outside scope will be left on the cutting room floor

  • Everyone is welcome; including beginners and all ages! Others will enjoy how you see things! You may provide a pen name if you don’t want to be identified.
