What happened next
www.mofilm.com/blog/2010/06/22/critics-choice-award-an-apology/
MOFILM would like to issue a direct apology to community involved with the recent Nokia MiniMo contest and Will Tribble.
It has come to our attention that the Critics Award winner “Forrest Chump” was not an original creation, as required by the terms and conditions of the competition but had been copied from Will’s Tribble’s “Forrest Gump in One Minute, in One Take”, which can be seen here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOvgJ0TxdfI. This issue should have been dealt with as soon as it was flagged however it was not. We will be holding a full review of the administration of this competition.
We would like apologise unreservedly once more for this error. We didn’t realise that the film that we chose was a copy, we would have instantly removed the submission from the competition if we had. As it stands, the original winner has now had their prizes revoked and we will be announcing a new winner soon.
Will Tribble has also been invited to the London Film Festival as the guest of MOFILM and the One Minute One Take film will be shown during the MOFILM London Film Festival ceremony.

Well she's admitted to copying, so I guess she knows.

The tagline of the blog reads:
Across the UK, students are making movies on their mobiles in a bid to win a trip to Cannes.
Some are clever, some are beautiful, many are downright daft.
Does the second line refer to the movies, or the students?
Woo to justice!

Wow! If there was a prize for doing this kind of thing
I'd win it by pretending I'd done what she had.

Though I think you don't have to be that famous to shag Jordan.

Well Done Lad
Well done. It's not Cannes but it nice to see your work rewarded.
And kudos to Nokia for doing the right thing.
Cheers

Prize revoked...
...But we were already told that they were in Cannes. Sent packing on the first plane home?
It sounds to me like the people organizing the competition tried to sweep it under the rug, and say its too late, but higher management has stepped in and demanded that it be dealt with properly.
