winner, selected at random.
There are two rounds of the competition each year and you can enter each round.

“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!”
