Last chance to enter LAFTAs languages and film competition

With two weeks left until the deadline for the Languages and Film Talent Awards (the LAFTAs), there is still time to send your students’ entries in. The competition invites 13-21 year olds to submit two-minute film clips which demonstrate the importance of language learning. Some examples of recent entries are now available on our Youtube page: www.youtube.com/RoutesintoLanguages

Prizes include: two iPod classics donated by Apple and the French Embassy; a one-week French and surfing course in Biarritz donated by Cactus Language; and four return tickets to Paris, donated by Eurostar. Winning entries will be chosen by our panel of celebrity judges, including comedian Eddie Izzard and broadcaster Sir Trevor MacDonald.

The deadline for entries is 31 March 2008. For more information and how to enter, visit our website: www.languageswork.org.uk/laftas
