  "preserve" our heritage in digital formats
  
  
  DIGITAL HOMELANDS SINGAPORE
  Presented by the National Museum of Singapore
  
  From 15 January 2008, the National Museum of Singapore will be launching Digital Homelands Singapore, a national project inviting all Singaporeans to create a short 5-8 minute video in digital format, that captures a specific experience or memory of a place in Singapore.
  
  There are no restrictions on the genre – you can choose to share your personal stories through narrative, documentary, experimental or even a music video. And be it the house where you grew up, the street where you held hands with your first love, such moments are what we are looking for.
  
  In conjunction with Digital Homelands Singapore is a series of filmmaking workshops for the public. these workshops aim to help people create their own digital stories of locations such as Katong, Tiong Bahru and Changi. Selected videos will be showcased in an exhibition to be held at the National Museum of Singapore in August 2008.
  
  Video submission deadline: 30 April, 2008

  this is their cheap way of making videos about the country for the museum instead of hiring professionals......
  
  but then again these kinda competitions also serve to showcase our own talents by our own people.....
  
  1 may be probable but the 2nd is most important

  i think from the ppl will be more convincing than hiring professionals to do a "commercialised" job
