Wyndham City is inviting creative Wyndham residents to submit a one-minute film to depict their interpretation of winter.
Wyndham City’s Arts, Culture and Heritage portfolio holder Cr Tony Hooper said the competition was a chance to show off some of the beautiful landscapes of Wyndham as well as gaining an insight into the lives of people who live in the district.
“We are purposely leaving the competition open to ‘your’ impressions of winter, so we can encapsulate what elements of the City, its culture or lifestyle is important to you. It also opens the door for you to unleash your creative genius freely, so applicants can truly express themselves in this one minute of entertainment,” said Cr Hooper.
“It could be your favourite location, such as a walk along the cliffs, spending time with the family at the Werribee Zoo, but it could even be about cosy nights in front of the fire with a cup of hot chocolate—whatever winter means to you. You don’t need fancy camera equipment, just grab your mobile phone and create your short film,” he said.
Selected entries will be screened as part of the One Minute of WINTER Mini Film Festival at the Winter Street Party on Friday, 28 June, 4pm-9pm.
Entries must:
- Be no more than one minute in duration
- Be in landscape format
- Have no sound
- Be family friendly
- Not use any copyrighted material
Entries can be submitted on Council’s website https://www.wyndham.vic.gov.au/one_minute_of_winter or a USB with your film can be handed to staff at the Civic Centre front desk labelled ‘One Minute of WINTER c/o Arts & Culture Team’. USBs will not be returned.
This opportunity is only open to Wyndham residents. Wyndham City Council staff are ineligible to participate.
Entries close 4pm on Monday, 3 June.
Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.
Please consider making a contribution today.
Thank you for your support.
