It’s back!
Calling all filmmakers, we’re back on the hunt for the best surf clips. Flotsam Surf Film and Photo Festival has teamed up with Independent and Haitus for the return of the Homegrown Surf Clip comp, and there’s $5K in prizes and cash to be awarded.
If you’ve got a short clip (must be under 3 minutes max) that relates to surfing and has a connection to the Gold Coast, go in the running to win big.
There’s no parameters around where the footage has/hasn’t been seen – it just needs to be Homegrown!
