Mark Rhodes, Head of Marketing at reed.co.uk,
comments on how this
year’s competition surpassed all expectation:
“It’s been an absolute
joy to see the time, talent and effort that’s gone into
making all of this year's entries. Reaching a shortlist of only 12 films was
not only extremely difficult, but involved some fairly painful decisions.
“I’d like to
extend a heartfelt thanks on behalf of reed.co.uk to everyone who’s taken part in this year’s competition.”
Rhodes continues by asking
people to get involved and vote for their favourite film:
“We’re
excited to be able to show all 12 shortlisted films on reed.co.uk where people
can vote for their favourite. The winner of the People’s Choice Award will be
awarded £1,000.”
All winners
will be announced in May at an exclusive awards ceremony and screening.
