PSA Briefs in 2005 include Celebrating democracy; Love thy Neighborhood and Environment, Act Like a First Class Citizen, Think/Live More Healthily, Living Positively with Aids, The People Who Serve South Africa, Making a Kid’s Future Mean Something, Literacy For Old and Young, and South Africa: Land of Heart, Soul and Beauty.
The MultiChoice VUKA! Awards Competition’s two categories encompass Newcomers and Professionals, with awards being presented in each of these for the following:
Best Overall PSA, Best Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Creative Concept and/or Script, Best Use of Humour to convey a serious message, Best Soundtrack (i.e original music composed and arranged specifically for the PSA – or sound design created using library SFX and music), Best Creative Editing, Best Animation (provided at least five PSA’s are received in this category), and at the sole discretion of the competition organizers, a further award (applicable only for previously disadvantaged newcomers who have not attended a film school) for “RAW Talent”.
