Comp Closed

Votes closed and it's tally time! 34,035 viwers and voters came from a whopping 56 countries! The schools competition looks like being a very close run thing. We will now sort the votes and prepare for Hoyts (see below)

*** 28th July - 3 days to go and more than 30,000 viewers/voters from 50 countries is a pretty cool response that shows the level of interest and support for our film makers and for the promotion of individual ability - thanks to all. ***

IMPORTANT: Winners announced, prizes presented on Wednesday 25th August Starts 6pm at the Hoyts Entertainment Centre Bent St Moore Park. Seating is limited. Details and to book a seat:Ryan Goodwin 0298332500

*** 24th July - 1 week to go - Really, really important: Focusonability watchers and interested persons are reminded that viewing isn't voting. Commenting isn't voting either - only voting is voting and some heavily watched videos aren't getting votes in line with the interest they are generating! ****

With more than 25,000 views and votes the comp is very tight with only 50 votes separating the top 3 in the "schools" section.

*** 21st July. Web traffic over past 7 days shows an increase of 1824.27% (Google Analytics) voters now coming from 40 countries and a couple of extra States (below). Newspaper articles featuring entered videos have driven significant votes to some of the regional entries and the schools contest is very, very tight ***

*** 19th July - So far, 25 of the 50 United States have visited our site and many visitors have voted - as an example a very warm G'Day to the folks who have spent time with us from ;Alexandria, Richmond, McLean, Ft Myer, Fairfax, Occoquan and Woodbridge - all in Virginia - thanks for dropping by. ***

The U.K. vote weighed in with heavily with further interest and votes now coming from 34 countries: Australia, United Kingdom New Zealand, United States, Canada, Thailand, Mexico, Hong Kong, Netherlands, Philippines, Spain, Indonesia, Bulgaria, Sweden, Slovakia, Denmark, Germany, Japan, Qatar, Belgium, Tonga, Russia, The Czech Republic, Argentina, Israel, Italy, Poland, South Africa & The United Arab Emirates.
