The Cross-Media Challenge is one way of reaching out to potential new production partners.   If you have an exciting, groundbreaking, socially relevant project that will define the digital media of tomorrow, send in your proposal.

Deadline for entries is now October 15, 2007. Three semi-finalists will be invited to present their projects at a panel session during the Sheffield Doc/Fest on November 10.
