APPLICATIONS HAVE NOW CLOSED - WINNERS TO BE ANNOUNCED IN 2012

The SPARC Screen Media Awards are about encouraging Christian; Screen Producers, Artists and Culture Makers.

• Cat. 03 - Best Digital Media Project. This is a broad scope award and looks to recognise projects developed for digital / online / emerging media projects.

The awards look to evaluate the overall media projects as opposed to a single aspect, and consideration is given to: strategy, creative development, excellence in execution, market engagement and future potential.
