Business students put an add in the bulletin wanting art students that work with video to produce a 30 second video to support and promote ‘CityHitch’, their entry in the PolyU Global Student Challenge, so me and Ashley rose to the challenge! They even said they'd split the prize money with us if they won and they were talking about $2500 between five of us, which didn't sound too bad at all!
The advert came together really well and they met there deadline and I thought that was that... Till a few days ago.

I got a message from Ashley saying that they had infact won!!! They came in first for the Environmental and Sustainability theme and they were the only team from Europe to reach the final six teams and came third overall in the secondary division. We hadn't heard anything from them since they'd won so Ashley thought he'd send an email over and find out about the prize money we were promised, and found out that the buisness department had left a token of their appreciation with the art department that had been mailed out to us so all that was left to do was wait and see what this token was...
Token was a very select choice of words.
It wasn't the $500 we were hoping for or what ever that amount would be in pounds, but £25 and a thankyou card signed with all their thanks :P At first I was a bit miffed that we'd missed out on some serious money but when I thought about it if they hadn't won we probably wouldn't even get the £25 anyway.
I told this to my sister, she used to study busness, and all she said was that if something like that ever comes up again - get it in writing!! haha... Well at least it's kept my editing skills ticking over and I can always work it into my portfolio for uni.
Below i've managed to add the 30 second advert I edited down for them and I must say i'm pretty proud of it myself :')
- Enjoy!
