Green Dot Awards' finalistsTrop JR and Deloitte film competition 2010 |
Deloitte supported this years Trop JR festival with The Trop JR Deloitte Green Dot Awards to engage with young filmmakers, expose their work to new audiences and have some fun with our distinctive branding – the green dot!
All the young filmmakers needed to do was to think of unique and fun ways to include a green dot in their short film – as that is a feature of our logo and the "DOT" was this years ‘Trop Signature Item’ (or TSI). This was a unique and exciting opportunity for us to highlight one of our core corporate values - the celebration of young talent.

The prize?
Originally, the prize was to award the entrants of the five best green dot movies, judged by Trop JR, with $500. However, Trop JR received so many fantastic entries in this category that we extended the prize to the six best green dot movies.
