Ecclesiastical church competition
Show the world what you believe
This year, as part of our longstanding commitment to the Church, we’re running a different kind of competition.
Our aim is to broaden the competition’s appeal, and offer parishes and the wider church community a chance to show what they really believe.
So what are we doing this year?
We’re inviting people to make a one-minute film about the true meaning of Christmas. Films can be shot on a camcorder, laptop or mobile phone and uploaded to our specially created website - True Meaning.
Entrants have the chance to win £3,000 for their church, along with other great prizes, at an exclusive finalists event. This will take place at Old Trafford, Manchester, on 21 November 2008.
Anyone can take part. All films will need to be endorsed from either a church leader or a youth group leader. As a result, we’re hoping this will draw new faces into the Church.
We see the competition as a fantastic way to raise the Church’s message, support the valuable work already taking place in the community and reinforce the core spiritual values of Christmas.
The competition has officially opened. Entrants can upload their completed films to the website www.truemeaning.co.uk. The closing date for entries is 10 October 2008. Be the first to wow the judges with your one-minute film.
We’re putting together an impressive line-up of judges, with Dr John Sentamu, Archbishop of York, getting involved. The competition is also fully supported by the Church’s Board of Education.
Please spread the word.
