“The winner is awarded a full scholarship to the two year Advanced Diploma of Screen and Media at IFSS where they will be transformed into true cinematic artists.”
Shouldn’t that read either “The winners are awarded ” or ” where he/she will be transformed into a true cinematic artist ”
This all seems well and good, but I do not believe that any course or academy can guarantee to transform any pupil into a ” true artist.”
True artists grow and develop, usually over a long period of time, and through the process of working.
Making films will make artists. Book learning and/or money may assist that process, but they can never displace it.
