Due to some technical issues with uploading films to the group, the Crafts Council has decided to grant an extension for submission.
Submission will now close at 5.00pm GMT on Tuesday 2 August; no further submissions will be permitted after this date under any circumstances.

As part of the Power of Making exhibition at the V&A in September, the public are invited to submit short films that celebrate the power of making – it may explain, illustrate and/or observe 'making' skills, techniques and process.

The films will be creative, inspiring, exciting and perhaps unexpected, and will explore a diverse range of skills and look at how materials can be expressed in imaginative and spectacular ways. 40 short-listed films will be a feature in the exhibition, and may be used in edited form for showing on the web and/ or for TV broadcast.

Please download the full brief and instructions for uploading from the files section.
