Did you catch this year’s Roskilde Festival in motion images on your mobile phone, with a camera or something else? Is the end result good and does your film deserve a wider audience than just your friends and family?

We encourage you to show us all your festival films. The best film wins a ticket to Roskilde Festival 2012 – and your fellow festival-goers decide the winner.

How to

Send your finished film to us via wetransfer.com (our recipient address is competition@roskilde-festival.dkcompetition@(delete this text from the mail address)roskildefestival.dk). Please include a title and a brief summary of the film (approx. 20 words). All films received before Monday 29 August participate in the competition for best audience film of the year. Among all uploaded films we select the best candidates that the audience can vote on.

• Edit your film so that you omit unnecessary "noise".
• With an international festival audience, we encourage everyone to make subtitles for all non-English speak.
• The ideal length for your film no more than two minutes.

We choose the candidates based on criteria such as storytelling, angle and originality. It is less important whether you have the most expensive equipment, and much more important that you can put together a story.
