Mashups wanted about Australian politics
Author: Manly Library
Are you irreverent and satirical? Looking to engage with Australian democracy through creative means? Care about the state of Australian political culture?
Then ABC’s new show Q&A wants you to create a mash-up to close the show each week.
Q&A is a new program which puts punters, pollies and pundits together in the studio to thrash out the hot issues of the week. It’s about democracy in action – on Q&A the audience gets to ask the questions.
This is a shout out to film-makers all around Australia to have their say, through film. Submit your mash-up of one minute or less to http://www.abc.net.au/tv/qanda/have-your-say.htm
Email us with your contact details to qanda@abc.net.au once your video is uploaded. We will get in touch with you if your work gets chosen to feature on Q&A. Not only will the chosen filmmakers have their work aired on national television, they will also get a mention from Q&A and Lateline host Tony Jones. Stake your place in the political debate. Mash up now!
