Guidance for Content Creator Submissions
The idea is to develop imaginative and adaptive work with whoever you are living with, using the tools already at your disposal so as to adhere to the World Health Organization’s social distancing guidelines. If you live alone, now’s the time to show off your camera (and sound) skills! If you do invite others to work on your project, please ensure that you prioritise their safety and your own, by wearing a mask at all times, frequent hand washing, proper ventilation in shared spaces, keeping a safe distance and sanitising all equipment and common surfaces.
