Who can enter?
SP members with an actor's profile can enter by answering the three questions. Nine actors will
then be shortlisted.
We know actors are constantly judged, critiqued, scrutinised: having talked to the community,
we’ve decided to randomly select the final winner from this shortlist. No judging. Just a final
winner, selected at random.
There are two rounds of the competition each year and you can enter each round.
Submissions Open Again in 2022
All shortlisted actors will receive a year’s free Shooting People
membership and will benefit from the promotion across the SP community.
The winner from each NEW SHOOTS: ACTORS Competition (currently open twice a

We hope it will help you with
career-related expenses like actor training, making showreels, voice training, travel,
theatre/film tickets, festival attendance...
How you spend it is up to you!

“Winning New Shoots: Actors gave me tools to make and connect at a time when I really needed
that. I just got my first artistic commission for which the Zoom recorder will be an essential
tool (it is great!) and I love staying connected on this platform with creatives working across
the industry. The prizes are game-changing, open so many doors, and help me keep up to date.
This whole experience has been a wonderful confidence boost. Thankyou Shooting People!”
