Last month the Australian Music Week (AMW) also announced that they would be teaming up with The AU Review to present Captured: Australia.

Captured is a national music video project and competition that sees local bands and musicians paired up with local filmmakers. The result of the pairing is, after 6 to 7 weeks of allocated production time, a music video or a short film under 5 minutes. The films will premiere in 2015 as part of Australian Music Week in Sydney. These music videos and short films will then travel around the country for a series of events and are supplemented by an online campaign where the public vote on their favourite video.

The winners are announced at a closing night party, with a major prize from sponsors being awarded to the band by way of the public vote, and for the filmmaker by way of a panel of industry judges. Entries close at 5pm on Monday, September 14th.

Applications are now live for bands and filmmakers here.
