Australias premiere music video festival CLIPPED has opened submission for its annual film clip competition.

CLIPPED Music Video Festival is dedicated to promoting and celebrating the best of Australia and New Zealands artists in the field, and provides a platform for bands and filmmakers to showcase their work.

CLIPPED invites filmmakers and bands to submit their clips, which will be judged in categories such as Animation, Cinematography, Directing, and Editing. Judges include industry leaders and innovators from Australia and overseas, and will be announced in the coming weeks.

In 2016, CLIPPED received over 1,000 entries. Competition judges included music video directors Nigel Dick (Tears for Fears, Oasis, Britney Spears) and David Wilson (Tame Impala, Metronomy, Arcade Fire), and prizes included equipment, software packages and trophies.

As well as the competition, this one day event includes an interactive music video exhibition, allowing more work to be showcased outside the category finalists. CLIPPED will also be hosting discussion panels with key speakers and invited guests, VJ sets, premieres, award screening sessions, and a new feature to the 2017 event - industry workshops.

CLIPPED is quickly establishing itself as Australias only uniquely dedicated inaugural Music Video Festival, which is solely focused on showcasing the best in the industry and celebrating the art form.

Only music videos released or to be released after January 2016 are eligible for consideration. CLIPPED is also looking for submissions or applications to premiere new music videos live at the event.
