Congratulations to everyone who completed the challenge. This year we received a total of 126 films and 184 short stories. Every year we are astounded by the constantly increasing quality and variety of work we receive. Having to adapt to a title as well as a really tight deadline seems to be a great catalyst for ideas, whether it's a post-technological dystopia, an alien encounter or a virtual vs. actual reality. It is never easy to select the winners, but here they are:

THE FILM CHALLENGE:

• 1st Place: Under Duress by team Retrograde
• 2nd Place: On My Watch by team Badger Way
• 3rd Place: Details to Follow by team Hyvemind

THE FLASH FICTION CHALLENGE:

• 1st Place: Survival Mechanism by Natalie Dixon
• 2nd Place: All My Blood by Simon Bennett
• 3rd Place: The Charm by Bethan James

Well done, everyone!

Get a taste of the films we get each year - truly amazing!
