I got this through the Mac faculty email. Looks like a terrific opportunity.

--

WorldNomads.com is offering the perfect opportunity for your students

to try their hand at documentary filmmaking. In conjunction with National

Geographic Adventure, WorldNomads.com is offering the chance to go

on assignment with producer Trent O'Donnell, to Vietnam to take a shot

at producing a documentary that will be considered for broadcast on

the National Geographic channel.

The winner of the scholarship will be flown to Vietnam from their

country of residence. They will then join a Buffalo Tours trek with

a team of volunteer doctors deep into the picturesque Mai Chau Valley.

Their mission is to set up temporary health clinics to provide vital

medical services to remote hill tribes. The winner's mission is to

tell their story.

Applicants for the scholarship must compile a 3 minute (or less)

video documentary in English based around the theme; 'Journey into

an Unknown Culture'. 'Journey' is open to interpretation and may

involve somewhere they have travelled or a journey of a more personal

 nature. Videos should be uploaded to Natgeoadventuretv.com.au and

they will also be asked to provide 200 words or less on why they

should be awarded the World Nomads 2009 Travel Documentary Scholarship.

All interested students should visit the WorldNomads.com Scholarship

The deadline for entrants is July 5, 2009. We would appreciate you

forwarding this information on to your students and lecturers, and

uploading the information to the appropriate section of your website

as this opportunity is open to all students.
