FILM makers in the Sidmouth and Ottery area are invited to enter a national competition.

BritishCoastGuide.com has launched a contest to find the best short film on any aspect of the British coastline. Entries will be showcased on the website, and filmmakers can add their own credits to their entries.

BritishCoastGuide.com director Tom Wakefield said: “This competition offers a chance to amateur and professional film makers to use their skills to present an aspect of their local coastline to a wide audience.”

Entries will be loaded on to the county pages of the website, and the public will be able to vote for their favourite. The competition closes on June 30, and winners will receive �1,000 in vouchers to spend on camera and film equipment.
