Unless otherwise stated in The Brief the Judging Criteria (“Judging Criteria”) is as follows:
1. Originality and Creativity – 50%
2. Adherence to Creative Assignment – 50%
For this contest they would like short films of no more than 90 seconds that will really make the viewer stop and think about the role of transport – from the cars they drive, to the ships and planes that deliver the products relied on in their daily lives.

These unbranded films should have a strong human connection and be thought provoking, they should not be documentaries and you should remember that transport can mean the movement of goods as well as people.
