Tropfest’s competition for composers
APRA and Tropfest have put out a call for entries for a competition for all budding film composers to coincide with the 2012 Tropfest.
Composers are asked to score the short film Ruturning, by emerging filmmaker Amelia Olsen-Boyd with entries due by Thursday 12 January.
Entries will be judged by Paul Mac, Claire Bowditch, Antony Partos (animal Kingdom) and Andrew Lancaster (Accidents Happen)
The winner will receive $5,000 cash, thanks to APRA, as well as a once in a life time chance to perform or have their score performed in-front of thousands of film fans at Movie Extra Tropfest Australia live in Sydney on Sunday 19 February 2012.
Tropfest Founder and Director, John Polson says “I’m incredibly excited to have APRA on board as our sponsor for Tropscore as we head into our 20th year.”
“APRA has a long history of supporting emerging artists. Tropfest’s music competition Tropscore provides an important opportunity for artists to showcase their talents to the film industry and has helped launch many a career. It’s a natural fit,” says Polson.
