LG VMTA COMPETITION EXTENDED! New close date: 1st January 2008

Thanks to everyone who has entered the LG Video Media Talent Award so far - the standard of entries has been extremely high and has provided much entertainment (and argument) here at Shiny Towers.

We've received a lot of feedback from people who found out about the competition a little too late, so, as a gesture of seasonal goodwill, we're extending the contest over the holiday period until 1st January 2008. So if you receive a snazzy new camera / editing software from Father Christmas you can put them to good use!

Obviously this means that we'll be changing the date of the judging day as well - the new date will be arranged for sometime during the week starting 14th January.

In the meantime, if you missed the last deadline check out our guide on how to enter and get to it!

Terms and conditions can be found here.
