Additional Requirements

Work in progress should only be submitted if 80 percent of the final version is complete. If the soundtrack is not complete, the jury requests the addition of a temporary soundtrack.

If your submission is longer then five minutes, please clearly indicate by timecode the selections of your work that you wish to be viewed by the jury. Submit only one project or entry per videotape with a single valid online submission ID. Collaborative and group projects are encouraged but only one completed project per videotape will be accepted: one entry, one tape, one valid online submission ID. Remove the write-enable tab from your videotape entry.

Do NOT submit the following:

  • VideoCD, CD-ROM (except for the digital still image), film, Web sites, stereoscopic images, or other forms of display. They are not accepted for jury review. Do not submit NTSC videotape. Masters.
  • We will accept first-generation tape as long as it is not the only original. Note that we are not able to return tape entries.
  • Tapes that include commercial watermarks or "bugs." Tapes that include these devices will not be reviewed.
  • More than one entry or completed project per videotape. Videotapes containing more than one project or entry will not be reviewed.
  • Fibre or pulp-padded mailers for videotapes. If these mailers tear, the fibres can damage your tape and our playback equipment. Tapes sent in these mailers will not be reviewed.
  • Do not wait until the last minute to complete and print your online submission form. Submission forms are editable until finalised, so there is an advantage to starting them early.


Shipping, Tracking and Receipt Notification

Send all your materials to ASN Events (see here) along with your video. You have sole responsibility for delivering your submission to Graphite2003. There is no special assistance available for tracking, fees, or damage claims as they pertain to shipment of your packages. Graphite2003 will not notify you that your submission package has been received. You must retain your shipping waybill number for purposes of tracking your package and confirming delivery.

Customs

Submitters located outside of Australia should note that customs delays of up to two weeks could occur. Customs labels should bear the words: "Educational material with no commercial value." Graphite2003 will not pay any customs fees, duties, or tariffs incurred by your submission. Submissions delayed past the submission deadline will not be accepted for review.

Conclusion

For some submitters, meeting the Electronic Theatre deadline is a difficult and sometimes frustrating challenge. Generally, the frustration increases as the deadline draws near. We encourage you to complete your online form and prepare as many of the submission requirements (written descriptions, still image, and final videotape/digital file) as early as possible. Do not wait until your project is complete before you begin the submission process. If you have any questions, please refer to or email the Electronic Theatre Chairs.We will look forward to seeing your submission. Good luck!
