Game for wild encounters?

Capture Nature on film, and who knows, your film may be telecast on Animal Planet

Is your burning ambition to get up close and personal with the world's most amazing animals? Do you dream of capturing Nature's raw beauty on film? If `yes', then Animal Planet is about to offer you the chance of a lifetime.

In a unique television project, the channel is searching for the next great wildlife filmmaker. The four-part reality series, "Unearthed", will follow six contestants on an intensive training course as they learn the essential skills and realities of creating a natural history documentary.

The budding directors and animal enthusiasts will carry out their challenges at the award-winning Shamwari Game Reserve in South Africa in July 2006, competing to ultimately have their film chosen the winner.

Industry experts and renowned wildlife filmmakers Lyndal Davies and Andrew Barron will guide the contestants. The tutors will help the students each shoot and edit their own short wildlife film. An international panel of experts will judge the final documentaries, and the winner will have his or her film broadcast on Animal Planet in 160 countries throughout Europe, Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East.

To apply for one of the six places on this amazing course, all you have to do is to go to www.animalplanet.co.uk/unearthed and download the application form and send it in by May 5, 2006, to Animal Planet - Unearthed, Discovery Networks India, 9/1 B Qutab Institutional Area, Aruna Asaf Ali Marg, New Delhi-110 067.
