Fourdocs 4 Sheffield competition - Get screened on Channel 4's Three Minute Wonder slot and meet the documentary world too To celebrate their first birthday, FourDocs is working with Channel 4 to find the best short documentaries that have been submitted to the site this year. A team of experts from Channel 4, FourDocs and the documentary world will select two winners and two runners up from the many entries that have been uploaded on to FourDocs, the UK’s first broadband documentary channel. The directors of all four shorts will see their film broadcast on Channel 4 in the 3 Minute Wonder slot in November. They will receive £600 prize money and an Executive Producer to help them re-edit their documentary for 3 Minute Wonder. The two winners will also be invited to join Channel 4 at Newcomer’s Day at the celebrated Sheffield International Documentary Festival. The Sheffield International Documentary Festival is one of the most prestigious events of its kind in the UK and since the festival’s inception, Channel 4 has always been at its centre. Now is your chance to join Channel 4 as a guest delegate on Newcomer’s Day at the festival. All you have to do is make a four-minute documentary and upload it to FourDocs via www.channel4.com/fourdocs. Your documentary should be between 3 and 5 minutes. Although it will need to be edited down to 3 minutes for potential broadcast, don't let this limit your creativity. Even if you don't win the competition, you'll still get your doc onto FourDocs, Channel Four’s prizewinning broadband documentary community. The deadline for submissions is Friday 1 September 2006.
