We know the satisfaction of creating a personal and groundbreaking film can be enough, but who says you shouldn’t earn some prizes as well? These have been carefully tailored to provide you with the tools you need, further your career, and give you all the bragging rights you’ve longed for.

Four winners in our competition will each take home one of these great machines. The Panasonic HDC-HS300 120GB Full HD Camcorder is great for both motion and 10.6-megapixel resolution still images. Featuring a 3MOS system with three full-HD sensors, it delivers one of the highest pixel counts in the world. And, how about the 5.1-channel surround sound system with 5 microphones featuring Zoom and Focus Mic functions? Since AF Tracking has been added to the iA function, this clever camcorder also automatically judges the scene and adjusts to the optimal settings – so that your subject can remain in focus even if the subject’s face turns away. If you are ready to boost your filmmaking arsenal with a great HD camcorder, we hope to see your film in the Street Sounds film competition.

We are thrilled about our powerful publicity prize, where we will announce your achievements to the entire entertainment industry – the four winners of our competition will see their names, short films and success celebrated inside a slick full-page ad in world-renowned Variety. This legendary show business news source has been in publication since 1905, and today it is still the leading guide for anyone in entertainment. If you are ready to be discovered, the Street Sounds film competition could be just the ticket.

After the public vote determines a shortlist, an esteemed judging panel will screen and select the winning films. This is a unique opportunity to have your work seen by prominent industry professionals such as Rolling Stone Magazine Design Director Owen Fegan, Sundance Channel Director of Branded Entertainment Monique Frumberg, A&E VP of On-Air Promotions Valerie Albanese, Partizan Director Nima Nourizadeh, Music Documentary Filmmaker Steve Elkins and Founder of The Warren Report and Head of Development for Lockspring Pictures Warren Etheredge. In addition, your film may also be shown in any live screening events for The Smalls Street Sounds.

We hope this trio of prizes provide even further motivation for you to create and submit your short film. If you have any questions about them, feel free to send an email to streetsounds@thesmalls.com.
