Scottish Book Trust are running a competition for film makers, new media types, art students, animators and anyone who has ideas and skills with a video camera.

A prize is offered for the most entertaining, creative and inspiring short film or animation on the theme ‘The Book That Changed My Life'.

The winner will receive a fabulous, newly released Sony Reader Pocket Edition worth £179 plus a voucher to spend on eBooks.

Your challenge is to create a short film or animation to illustrate the life-changing power of books. Entries will be judged on creativity, entertainment value, number of views and how well it encourages people to take part in The Book That Changed My Life project online. Full details of how to enter are here.

Here are some of the short films and animations that have inspired us here at Scottish Book Trust.
