I didn't think of this; it has been inspired by watching Lawrence Leung on the ABC tonight.

What I want, is the BEST hoax video (or animation or 3D software creation) you can create of a UFO or an alien. 30 seconds maximum, and we'll put all the clips on our Auscam channel on Vimeo!

We are organising a HUGE pool of prizes for the one voted the best and the runners up by our readers - and will also include a FREE 12 edtion subscription to Auscam for the top ten.

You can send your entries via an SD card, DVD or USB stick to PO Box 609, Bridgetown, WA 6255 or via YouSendIt.com to david@auscamonline.com. Entries close 30th August 2011.

So go to it!

Email any queries to the above address. The complete prize list will be posted as soon as it is complete.

David is the owner and publisher of AusCam Online. He has a background in media dating back to 1979 when he first got involved with photojournalism in motorsport, and went from there into technology via a 5 year stint with Tandy Computers. Following that, he ran a software distribution company on the Gold Coast and was one of the first to recognise the potential of Microsoft Windows.

Moving back to WA, David wrote scripts for Computer Television for video training for the just released Windows and Office 95 among others, and was then lured to Sydney to create web sites for the newly commercial Internet in 1995, building hundreds of sites under contract to OzEmail including Coates Hire, Hertz Queensland, John Williamson, the NSW Board of Studies and many, many more.

He went back into full time journalism as the Managing Editor for Channel 7's 'Gadget Guy', Peter Blasina's publications VideoCamera and Pixelmag, before starting Australasian Camcorder magazine when these publications were shelved. He lives at Sydney's Avalon Beaches nearly on the ocean front with dog Budweiser and in his spare time is a nut for motor sport, road safety, fishing, science fiction - especially Dr Who - and technology.
