Hayah Film Competition now accepting submissions

[Magnus]

The Hayah Film Competition. presented by Abu Dhabi Women's College and EmiratesMac Apple User Group has just started accepting Submissions of films for the competition. Films can be submitted in three categories: Student, Professional, and Amateur. Films compete for a cash prize in each category and the chance to attend the final award ceremony of the Middle East International Film Festival at the Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi on October 19. The competing films have to be in an iPod compatible format, and they should be no longer than five minutes long. Films can be uploaded through the web site. We'd like to thank Imthiaz Rafiq, a member of the EmiratesMac Apple User Group, for writing the film submission and uploading functionality. This would not have been possible without his assistance. -- Magnus Nystedt, President EmiratesMac Apple User Group

Films compete for a cash prize in each category

Can you disclose officially how much is the prize, I believe it will be an incentive for people to participate if they know the prize amount - in my opinion.

Good on you Imthiaz, you're the man

Unfortunately that's still not finalized, but it's likely to be pretty substantial.

It would be cool if our group participates in this collectively ...
Anybody interested ... let the ideas roll in

EMUG is one of the organizers/presenters of Hayah

then that makes it even more easier for EMUG to win the first prize

EMUG as a group can't compete, but individual members obviously can
