Please note, the competition is now closed.

The idea is, simply, take any movie of your choice, grab a bunch of friends and remake it in no more than 60 seconds! It's your chance to show that the likes of Spielberg and Scorsese are really long-winded. So get ready to take the director's chair and have some fun – don't forget those all important words "lights, camera action"

The top two Irish entrants will be announced in January 2011 at the Irish finale in Dublin and will then attend the Jameson Empire Done in 60 Seconds finalist's party in London on Friday 25th March, along with 18 other international entries.

Their films will be judged by an expert panel of judges, with the top 5 nominees going on to attend the Jameson Empire Awards on Sunday 27th March, where the overall winner will be presented with their award.

The prize includes flights and 3 nights accommodation for you and a guest in London & the opportunity to rub shoulders with the A-listers at the Jameson Empire Awards Party
