Competition Prizes

What's the total prize pool for this year’s FoA competition?

Some readers will think $70,000 - this was the total when we first advertised the program

Some may think $80,000 - we received a bunch more stuff including the ability to bring International winners here - we also printed a smaller run of promotional material (cost stopped us doing more).

A few later may have received the even smaller run we produced saying $90,000

In fact, this year’s prizes now well exceed $90,000!

The quality of the prizes is simply outstanding and, aside from the chance for overseas winners to join us in September for the finals, domestic entrants stand a chance of spending 10 weeks (yes, that's weeks!) in Los Angeles attending TAFTA - check 'em out online: http://tafta.com.au/wp-content/blogs.dir/3/files/2013/09/LABrochure.pdf.

But the prizes aren't the only attraction. Finalists and winners get an invitation to come to Sydney for the best night going - the Focusonability finals on September 4th - you get the full red carpet, see your film on the big screen, mingle with the celebs (more than a few perform with the celebrities!).

There may be better nights on offer but we don’t know where.

44 days till international entries close and 75 days for domestic entries – plenty of time for either so get filming and help us break down barriers for people with disability.
