The Bank of England is looking for secondary schools from the Vale of Glamorgan to take part in a new digital media competition about the role of the Bank called Bank, Camera, Action!
School children aged 11-16 are invited to submit a short film to the Bank on topics which will change from year to year. This year’s title is ‘A day in the life of the New Fiver’ and coincides with the polymer £5 launch on 14th September 2016.
The opportunity is to create a film that communicates the subject in an interesting and imaginative way. Students are free to use dance, music, poetry, rap, animation, graphics, cartoons, interviews, news items or any other fantastic ideas you may have. It's completely up to them, the more creative the better! Taking part will give teams the chance to showcase their talents and will appeal to students studying a broad range of subjects.
You do not require expensive technology to enter. Films can be submitted from a phone, tablet or camera and should be between 1 and 3 minutes. There will be prizes for both schools and individual team members. The winning films will be made available on the Bank Website and YouTube channel.
Schools must register for the competition by 10 October 2016. The closing date for film entries is 12 December 2016. Entries are to be made via www.bankofengland.co.uk/education/pages/filmcompetition/default.aspx or for any queries, email filmcompetition@bankofengland.co.uk.
Best of luck - we certainly have a winner here in the Vale!
