Therefore, the categories below are intended for film content which is created for transmission on screens other than TV or cinema. It is understood that there will be occasions when films intended for the internet, mobile or other screen are eventually shown on TV. However, the first transmission of entries in the first 3 categories below must not have been on TV or in cinema.

There is no limit to the actual length of entries in these categories however it is highly recommended that any submissions longer than 5 minutes should be submitted as a demo presentation or a shorter edit lasting no more than 5 minutes.
