The Golden State has contributed many things to modern society—the personal computer, John Steinbeck, a vast array of supple wines, and of course, the . Now you can add “a Dr. Who fan film contest” to that illustrious list, thanks to San Jose, CA’s PBS station, KTEH.
The “How Who Are You” fan film contest is running through March 15, and is open primarily to California residents, although filmmakers around the world are welcome to participate (i.e. you can submit your flick to be shown on the KTEH site, but you can’t ‘win’ per se). All entries have to be under 2 minutes long; considering that most Dr. Who fan flicks go on for multiple episodes, this is asking the filmmakers to create a haiku, but I think it will actually add to the cleverness and variety of the entries.
The contest website notes:
If we like your video, we may feature it on the air on KTEH TV as one of our ten finalists. We’ll then invite viewers to choose their favorite from among our top ten, and the winner will walk away with the Grand Prize!
The Grand Prize is a mini-bundle of British goodies PLUS the chance to gather up to six friends and appear on KTEH as hosts of your very own “Doctor Who” Marathon. The top three non-winning finalists will get free TARDIS T’s.
If you want to get in on the action, here’s the contest blog and the rules (very important). Kudos to KTEH for a cool contest!
