Short documentary, feature or report
Not every news story or
documentary calls for a 30’
production. In fact, there is an
increasing number of top-quality
short documentaries and reports
covering a remarkable range of
subjects broadcast both on
television and by online publishers.
Indeed, online news services
and newspapers are investing
heavily in video content, often
producing short features to
compete with TV.
This category is open to
broadcasters, independent
producers, newspapers and online
video portals who produce reports,
features and documentaries with a
running time of a maximum of 10’.
Telling a story effectively in that
time can be challenging,
particularly for complex issues. We
have seen a range of excellent work
in this category. Newspaper
publishers in particular are
routinely supplementing text and
stills with video. This is starting to
change the way some reporting is
undertaken.
We’re searching for the best
stories told in a succinct yet
effective way, that grab the
audience’s attention and deliver
factual stories in new ways.
Information on how to enter
starts on page 20- treat this
category as a television category in
terms of what you need to submit.
All submissions must have been
aired or released online between 1
June 2012 and 30 June 2013.
