We want as many 60 Second Shakespeare submissions as possible. But please make sure that you agree to the rules before sending them to us!

Please read the full rules below before submitting a 60 Second Shakespeare - but we'd particularly like to draw your attention to the following:

Only films and audios created by UK-based students currently in the primary and secondary education system (ie. up to the age of 19) (including home-educated students) will be accepted as 60 Second Shakespeare submissions.

All 60 Second Shakespeare entries must be submitted by teachers (or parent(s) if home-educated), on behalf of their students.

Permission must have been sought and obtained from the parents or guardians of any students featured in the films or audios to be submitted and used on the 60 Second Shakespeare website. By submitting a film or audio to 60 Second Shakespeare you agree that this permission has been granted.

We are unable to feature students' surnames in the published credits listings of submitted movies and audios, in line with the BBC's Child Protection Policy. Therefore only first names of students who appear in or who have helped produce the movie or audio will appear in the credit listings.

We will put up as many 60 Second Shakespeare submissions as we can between 14th November 2005 and 31 July 2006, but unfortunately we can't guarantee that every submission will appear on the site, for reasons including technical quality, content and quantity of submissions.

Sadly, we cannot return any 60 Second Shakespeare submissions. Not even with a stamped addressed envelope!
