MAX TROPSCORE is the exciting national competition where film and music come together like never before. In its second year, MAX TROPSCORE provides a creative platform for musicians to participate in the art of writing a score for a short film as well as to be part of the world’s largest short film festival – Movie Extra Tropfest. MAX TROPSCORE entrants must create an original musical score or synch for a three- minute short film that has been produced by Sam Curtain, one of Australia’s talented up and coming directors and producers.

Following the entry deadline, a panel of industry representatives will review a shortlist of twenty, which will be culled to three finalists. Of these three, one winner will get the chance to perform their score live at the festival to a live national audience of more than 150,000 people, and have their piece included on the 2010 Movie Extra Tropfest Finalist DVD in The Sydney Morning Herald. They will also receive a fantastic Gibson DSM Dreadnaught acoustic guitar and one-year membership for the Australian Guild of Screen Composers. Conditions apply.

To be a part of MAX TROPSCORE 2010, register your entry online at www.maxtv.com.au/tropscore and supply your completed score or synch compiled with the vision on DVD to Movie Extra Tropfest by Thursday 14 January 2010.
