Tips for creating good-quality photos and videos

  • Lighting is key – position yourself directly toward natural light or pick a spot with plenty of indoor lighting.
  • Aim for an uncluttered, mess-free background – this will make sure you are the star of the shot.
  • Minimise background noise – we want to hear you loud and clear.
  • Present your best self – stand or sit proud and tall.
  • Capture your video or photo in portrait mode.
  • It’s best if your video file doesn’t exceed 4GB.

Most importantly, have fun making your entry!
