Help St. Edward’s University celebrate its 125th anniversary while showcasing your creativity. Students, alumni, faculty and staff are invited to enter the 125X125 Hilltop Film Quest with a 125-second short film that ties back to St. Edward’s. Aspiring filmmakers and proud Hilltoppers have the opportunity to become digital storytellers with this fun competition.

Start with the 125th anniversary theme around “journey.”

Capture the history or the future of St. Edward’s, or share a modern day journey on campus. Document your personal experience, illustrate a memorable moment or create a new story of your own. The only requirement is that you draw from the unlimited source of inspiration around you — St. Edward’s University.

Bring your story to life using a digital camera, camcorder, Flip camera or your cell phone. Even if you’ve never picked up a camera before, you are encouraged to participate. Use any film style that best tells your story — animation, documentary, mini feature, music video and more.

Shoot for the grand prize: the revolutionary iPad!
The winner of the 125X125 Hilltop Film Quest will receive an iPad. Experience Apple’s exciting new technology at the touch of a finger, no matter where you go.

Get ready for the challenge.
Start now! Deadline for entries is Oct. 1. The winner will be announced Oct. 22 at the university’s 125th birthday party on campus. Stay tuned in Fall 2010 for more information about viewing and judging the film entries.
