Launching in to its third successful year, the TUC 60-second ad contest invites you to make a film about the impact of the spending cuts. Your audience are those who will be affected by the cuts - either directly or indirectly, through their families and communities. We want you to make an ad that really resonates with them. The best films will be shown on the big screen at Hyde Park at the March for the Alternative event on the 26th March 2011. This is your chance to make a creative difference.
Your ad could be documentary style, TV-style advertising, frontline reportage, theatrical, animated...you could even write a song. The most important thing is to have a great idea and to present it well.
They want you to make an ad that inspires, moves, and entertains, one that people want to forward onto blogs or social networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter.
The winner will receive a fabulous £500 cash prize and will get to spend a day filming Billy Bragg in a documentary-style. There are some great prizes for the runners-up too.
Closing date for entries: 14th March 2011
The winning ads will also be seen around the world, including showings at the Geneva Labour Film Festival and the Washington DC Labour Film Festival.
