Here’s something for the film-makers out there:

The deadline for the next call for submission for The Bigger Picture (for work to be shown on the Big Screen in Exchange Square) is 16 March. For round 2 The Bigger Picture is particularly seeking film and video works that are about, or engage with, the world of sport in the widest sense, from football to mountain culture - rock climbing and base jumping, or Skateboarding! More information on The Bigger Picture web page.

And one for the writers too:

There are 10 days left to submit to Transmission Magazine Issue 8. We are looking for short stories on the theme of Survival. Even if you have already sent work in but think you have another tucked up your sleeve, we would love to hear from you! In response to many of your questions we have published an updated set of submission guidelines to help you when you are submitting your work.

Good luck if you’re getting involved!
