1. One team was allowed per school and one teacher coordinator who was our contact for organizational matters. If a whole class was participating in the competition, it was divided into several teams.
2. The participants got two different topics on which they made 1-minute-films. Mobile phones or digital cameras only!
3. Every team was allowed to send only one 1-minute-film per topic so the students were supposed to sit down with their fellow school mates who were also taking part and discuss about the film they would send. By sending in a 1-minute-film the rights for further usage were automatically given to Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan.
4. The participants were supposed to remember the deadline for submitting their 1-minute-films to us. Once a film was sent in, it could not be withdrawn.
5. We had a jury of experts who fairly judged all the 1-minute-films. The decisions, once made, were not a subject of reconsideration or reversion.
6. But finally the participants could turn the tables and be their own jury: they could vote themselves for their favourite 1-minute-film and could tell their friends to do so as well.
