The Challenges vary but the objective is always to encourage members to experiment with different styles, creativity or editing techniques when making their videos.
Most recently, the challenge was for members to work in a team to create a locally based documentary, using an on-screen presenter, interview, and motion graphics to illustrate the story. The idea was to give members the opportunity to share their skills more widely than just single person video.
On other occasions raw footage was provided and the entrants challenged to produce something to a set criteria. For example, in 2021, members were provided with 10 minutes of footage and asked to produce a coherent 3 minute film. (The 10-3 challenge). The following year, footage was not provided, but members had to produce a montage. The Christmas challenge was to produce a short piece of work reflecting a particular theme.
