EDIT: The live announcement of winners for both the film competition and prize draw has been delayed due to very sad personal reasons. I have had to cut short my much needed first holiday in 2 years…as soon as I can confirm the date I will announce it here. If you want you can still donate to the draw. You may as well! x

EDIT 2: I an now in Sydney for the above reasons. I will be doing the live draw (upload speed permitting) at 9AM Sunday 16th of December which is 10PM Saturday the 15th of December GMT, 11PM central European time, which is 5pm Saturday the 15th of December EST in the US…etc

Thank you SO much for you generosity. Together we have raised close to to $60,000 which is incredible, almost twice what we raised last year.

Why not now? Well the internet in the hotel in Austin, Texas (Boo Omni!) is awful. Also I need this to be a weekend for obvious reasons. So Saturday the 8th it is. I will actually be taking my first proper holiday in 18 months in Hawaii at the time. I will be in Maui and will finding the best internet I can for that day. You can view the live draw in the window below or go to my JUSTIN.TV page here where you can take part in the chat. The event will last around 60 minutes to 90 minutes as there are a LOT of prizes to announce.

I apologise for the delay but as I mentioned in the post below this was always going to be an issue the an 80mb/s line at home in London that would be ideal , but am not home  right now and I didn’t want to wait until then.

Because of this delay you can still donate money to be in with more chances of winning. Is this unfair letting people enter past the 30th November cut off? Not really, the odds won’t change much and the most important thing is we can raise even more money for the charity and that is a great thing. Details for donating and entering are below.

You can watch the entrants for the film competition here. No more entries are allowed but these are great! Two filmmakers will win, one for each category, one for the awareness film and one for the Mo’ film. The prizes are oneMiller Compass 20 tripod with Event Speakers or the Kessler Crane Shuttle Pod Mini. Which category wins which prize will be announced at the same time. Both prizes are amazing.

There will be a recording of the live announcements of course and a list of winners posted shortly after. You will also be emailed directly. Do remember though there will be a very long list of winners and it’s just me doing this so I will email and get list done as soon as I possibly can! 🙂

ETHICS STATEMENT: I will give any company a plug on this page if it it means we can raise as much money as possible for this charity. It’s incredibly generous of all the companies involved to donate for this, and giving them a plug and a big thanks is the least I can do!!

THE FILM COMPETITION
This year I have gone back to the first year’s format in some ways, though retaining the giveaway from last year. I want lots of creative films made that are all about MOs to be made …films raise awareness, whether they are fun or serious. There will be two prizes given for these films. A prize for best “Mo” Film and a prize for best “Awareness” type film highlighting Prostate and Testicular cancer.

THERE IS A VIMEO GROUP FOR THESE FILMS TO BE UPLOADED TO…This is for the film competition.

AWARENESS:


This film is made to draw attention to the seriousness of prostate cancer and/ or testicular cancer. What you focus on is entirely up to you. Perhaps it’s a survivors story?

  1. Hey I noticed that to join your team, you have to state a place where you live in the UK. I know most people could just enter something random, but I wanted to enter in a US location so I could donate in USD, enter in a valid address, etc (and still remain a member of the Philip Bloom team).

    I contacted the Movember guys and they said that I or you or somebody needs to set up a US team and Movember.com will group them in a network together so everyone can participate under one umbrella.

    Is that something y’all are into? Could help increase exposure and persuade “on the fencers” over here in the US.

    Just a thought.

  3. Woo excellent. Have wanted to do it for ages but either forgot or last year was photographing a friend’s wedding in Kenya. Already registered, thankfully in London, will join the team.

    I think I might look like a douche – never grown a tache!
    Preferred options so far are either the neat trim Poirot or the full bushy Magnum PI.

    Friend of mine makes moustache wax if anybody needs 🙂 http://www.mr-wax.com/

    My uncle has Prostate cancer. Unfortunately getting worse and compounded by having throat cancer too 🙁

    2. Wasn’t going to enter the film competition as I’ve not done anything like that – only basic time-lapse (I’m primarily a photographer) – but am now very tempted. My wax making friend would be a great subject (and he’s helped out with the London Movember events).

      Dilemma now is that I have very little kit other than my D800, could do with some extra bits. But this is a competition to win kit…. ha!
      May buy a mic/sound recorder.

  4. Hello Philip,

    This might be a very stupid question (so apologies if it actually is), but is there a “deadline” before which you should submit your video or donation in order to participate in the competition/prize raffle?

    Thanks in advance and great initiative btw 🙂

  8. Hey, Great competition, hopefully will be able to submit something – just wondering what the deadlines are for prize draw / film entry? Apologies if the answer is in the blog, I tried reading it a couple of times but couldn’t spot em.

  9. I think I have my idea set for the film. Now I just need to make it happen. Keep your fingers crossed that it comes together.

    My Uncle Bobby is also combatting prostate cancer. So while these prizes are awesome, there is something deeper to work for.

    You are quite the class act to do something like this. Not to mention sharing your knowledge with use on film related posts.

    All the best,
    Billy

  10. My brother in law is recovering from prostate cancer. I believe it can be treated if detected early on, so get yourself checked regularly, gents!

    btw I thought your mini docs on Ponte and Redwaan in South Africa were brilliant, Philip. I look forward to the Durban issue. You inspire us in many ways!

  11. Hi Philip,

    This fundraising is a freat thing!

    Where are more informations about the competition?

    Concerning the prizes: There will be 2 winners in the contest…but who else will get the prices?

    Thx for answering (:

  17. Just made my donation. I have never been affected by prostate or testicular cancer, but i have lost loved ones to cancer, and i know that knowledge is the most powerful tool we have. So i will be actively promoting your page to spread the word.

  18. Philip,

    I wasn’t able to leave a comment on the “mo space,” but just wanted to say thank you for all that you are doing for the industry. You are such an inspiration for everyone, not just filmmakers to do good in this world. I wish you the best in gaining as much money and awareness as possible for such a worthy cause.

    Cheers!

  19. Hi Philip,

    I’ve read your site with interest for some time, and it’s got a lot of useful content – thanks for sharing your experience!

    Regarding prostate cancer, it’s clearly important to give men the best available evidence. Part of that includes the benefits and risks associated with screening (getting checked when you don’t have any symptoms).

    The Cochrane Library provides an unbiased, gold standard analysis of research, and makes it available for free. This review should be read by anyone who has no symptoms, but is thinking about getting a check:

    http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD004720.pub2/abstract

    Here are the authors’ conclusions:

    “Prostate cancer screening did not significantly decrease prostate cancer-specific mortality in a combined meta-analysis of five RCTs. Only one study (ERSPC) reported a benefit in a subgroup of men aged 55 to 69. Within this subgroup of men it was determined that 1410 men needed to be invited to screening and 48 additional men subsequently diagnosed with prostate cancer needed to receive early intervention to prevent one additional prostate cancer death at 10 years. Men should be informed of this and the demonstrated adverse effects when deciding whether or not to undertake screening for prostate cancer. Any benefits from prostate cancer screening may take up to 10 years to accrue; therefore, men who have a life expectancy less than 10 to 15 years should be informed that screening for prostate cancer is unlikely to be beneficial.”

    Prostate Cancer UK, the charity supported by Movember, has a website that effectively encourages men to have a check. Risks are mentioned, but without details. Pharmaceutical company GSK helps fund Prostate Cancer UK. My point here is that despite good intentions, the charity may not be entirely unbiased, or best-placed to advise on whether to get a check.

    Prostate cancer is a serious matter. If men have symptoms, they should get checked out. If they are at higher risk, maybe they should get checked out.

    However, if they have no symptoms, and are not at higher risk, maybe they shouldn’t. The way to decide is to be aware of the benefits and the risks of getting a check, and then to make an informed decision.

    More information here:

    http://www.testingtreatments.org/?s=prostate+cancer&searchsubmit=

    (you can also read the book “Testing Treatments” for free on this website – it’s interesting – and important – general reading)

    To be clear: I’m not saying don’t get a check. I’m saying get the best available evidence, then decide.

    Thanks,
    Mark

  20. Hi Philip,
    Great raffle and competition! I would be beyond thrilled to win any of these prizes, but especially the Kessler Crane Shuttle Pod Mini with Motor Kit/ Oracle Controller! A dream piece of gear there… Drool…

    Anyways, I entered the raffle/draw already but was thinking about having some fun with “The ‘Mo”. One question I don’t see answered above is whether or not we can use popular music or does it have to be royalty free? My video is dependent on a pop song that I could never get the rights too, so I figured I would ask as it would save me a bit of trouble if the answer is no.

    Again, thanks for all you do for the community!
    Brian

  21. Hippocrates Health Institute is reported of having a relatively high healing rate of various forms and stages of cancer (including stage four cancer).

    This will require to change one’s life but may be worth it …. Have a look!

      1. Sure! Despite some progress no one can claim cancer reversing rates close to 100%, so society
        definitely needs the resources to fight that disease.

        I wish a success in raising the necessary money. And thanks for all the practical/educational reviews on your site.

  23. So I’ve read through the blog post. I have raise some money in cash. Do I need to enter each drawing entry separately as $20 a piece or can I donate $60 and then send an email to count as 3 entries. Which is the preferred method for you?

    I’ll have a film by the deadline for the film competition as well.

      1. Sure thing. I’m doing what I can but it is slow going.

        I have contacted local cinemas to see if they would be interested in showing my Movember PSA before the main feature. I got a yes from one and I’m still waiting to hear back from the other.

        Thanks for everything.

  25. Hi Phillip,

    I noticed you changed the suggested amount for the draw to £16 from £14. I sent my receipt in a few weeks back and donated £15, will it still count?

    Regardless, great work with the money you have raised so far!

    Tom.

  26. Hi Phillip, I just noticed that the date for the film comp has been pushed forward to TODAY… I was under the impression that it was due by the end of the month and was planning to shoot this weekend. Any chance you will be accepting late entries?

    1. hi there…it was actually pushed back. it was never end of month, was 15th originally and i delayed it to 20th to give us time to watch them an judge them…i can give you a day more but no more sorry!! it’s said 20th for over a month.

      p

  27. The film competition looks like it will be tough. So many good entries.

    Will each person/group that entered the film competition get feedback on their film whether they win or lose? Knowing what the judges liked or disliked about the film will be helpful in building skills by knowing what to improve upon.

    In the end we all win because we get to spread the message about Movember and maybe it might save someone’s life. That’s worth it.

  28. Hi Philip. I think I found a typo in the above rules. When you updated the deadline to mention Samoan time, you wrote that the films are due by November 30th. I’m pretty certain you meant the 20th, correct? Thought you might want to fix it. Thanks. Hope your ‘stache is growing in nicely.

  29. Hi Philip, There’s a typo in the 2nd sentence of the section about the prize draw. I think it originally said that donators could enter the draw if they sponsor any of your team. That’s not clear now, but it’s what I’ve been telling people.

  38. When do you think we will be receiving our prizes? Also, after sending you my contact info, I got an email from you that said that my receipt will be entered into the prize draw. That email was sent to me yesterday.
