With less than 2 months to go, the deadline is fast approaching for aspiring filmmakers to enter their films into the prestigious DigiSPAA digital filmmaking competition. The winner will take away a cash prize of $15,000 and $20,000 worth of post-production, a guaranteed screening of their film on the Movie Extra channel, plus a return airfare and free registration to the prestigious CineMart International Film Festival Rotterdam.

The competition continues to draw entries from the best new cinematic talent in Australia and New Zealand, as acceptance of the digital medium becomes increasingly popular on a global scale. In 2009, Academy Award winning films such as Slumdog Millionaire (winner best cinematography) was shot half on digital. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, also an Academy Awards nominee, was also shot digitally.
