Well done to you all. I was there, and I have to say, the work was the best for years. Congratulations to the winners and well done to the team that ran it all.
where are all the girls? Hmmm don't seem to have moved on do we?
There are 8 girls on the winners list.. that's not too bad, is it?
Good on ya Steve-O.
champion!
Congrats to all the winners.
Lynchy, can we please discuss the new Kan-Tong ad now? Trying to sell sauce by copying Chinese communist propaganda.
Wtf??
Seriously?
8 women on the larger list is not moving on, and how many of them will get good jobs? It's still well and truly a club for boys in this country - and not looking any better for the future.
Look at how many of the judges were men?
How can you say eight women is crap without knowing how many were in the class altogether? Just wondering. Without knowing how many women that applied in the first place, you don't know shit.
For those of us who couldn't make it, any chance of seeing some of the work?
lynchy how bout you get a player that fucking works.
2.30pm: Perhaps you're using Explorer (no good with any blog). Or Safari, which plays up too (sound without streaming vision in my experience).
I've found Firefox (the best) or Netscape the best browsers to use.
I just finished AWARD in another state. We had 100% male lecturers/ tutors though class split was exactly 50/50. Can't speak for sydney but 8 out of 32 seems a little on the low side....
No, I have tried to view the video a number of times in different browers, however it always stops at the same spot.
Which spot? It goes all the way through on my browser...
