What you win

A social feature
Your work on Crew&Co’s Instagram and LinkedIn.
An Insights write-up

In front of hirers
We show winning work to our hiring partners.
Nine categories. One for every role on set.
Photography
A link to 3 to 5 images from the project.
Film & Video
Directors, DoPs, camera operators and videographers. A link to the film, or a cut of up to 60 seconds, and your role on it.
Editing & Post
Editors, colourists and VFX. A link to the finished piece, plus a before-and-after or raw-and-graded clip if you have one.
Sound
Recordists, mixers and designers. A link to the film or audio, and what you recorded, mixed or designed.
Lighting
Gaffers, sparks and lighting techs. A link to the stills or film, plus a lighting diagram or a shot of your setup.
Make-up & Hair
Make-up, hair and SFX. The final look, 3 close-ups and a before shot if you have one. Phone photos are fine: we judge your work, not the camera.
Styling & Wardrobe
The full look and 3 detail shots. Tell us about your thinking and sourcing.
Production
Producers, production managers, runners and assistants. A link to the finished work, and what you made happen: the schedule, the crew, the problem you solved.
Models & Talent
A link to 3 to 5 images or a clip from the project, and what you brought to the brief.
Put the work somewhere we can open without logging in: your website, an Instagram post, Vimeo, YouTube, or a shared Google Drive or Dropbox folder. Not sure which category? Pick the closest. The judges can move entries.
