Getting Started

Use these points as a checklist to ensure you have fulfilled all requirements of the competition:

Research the competing interests of the big retailers, their supplier manufacturers, government, media, and the consumers of today and tomorrow; all have their own different priorities and ways of achieving them – their competing interests.
Develop ways of weaving into your script the ways in which all the above groups are approaching sustainable development; as well as their individual motivations – capture the way in which they seek to promote their own interests and approach.
Integrate the ‘BUY RECYCLED TOO’ message together with all others you see as being important to motivate your community to ‘Make a Difference’.
Find interesting ways to depict the behaviors we all need to adopt, ‘sing out’ the slogans you want brought to life, select local celebrities or community leaders to get even more attention for our messages.
Highlight the products whose packaging is not only recyclable, but is made from recycled waste; identifying those products with ARC and ARP logos. For ideas, check out previous years’ winners on the web site. Ensure your entry illustrates the manufacturers’ brands of supermarket products whose packaging is made from Australian recycled waste material (ARC or ARP logos are displayed on the package)
Invite your community and business leaders, as well as the media to the screening of your film or your play’s performance. Make the premiere the most successful mouthpiece for a sustainable environment your community have experienced. Have it captured on DVD and told in all the media of your choice.
All entries (the DVD of your Film or Play, and any media coverage you’ve received) must be in the mail to The Australian Recycled Cartonboard Campaign, PO Box 980, Fortitude Valley, Qld 4006 by 5pm Friday 17 September, 2010.
