This week, media scope, in cooperation with the Junior Dublin Film Festival, has a great prize on offer for budding film reviewers and their classmates. All you have to write a review of any film, not more than 300 words long, and send it to media scope by post, fax or email (see `over to you'). The deadline for entries is Friday week, November 14th. We'll publish the three best.

The authors of those reviews will be eligible for work placements in The Irish Times each will win tickets for an entire class group (up to 30) for one of three workshops at the Junior Dublin Film Festival, where topics include animation, screen-acting and explanations of how films get made.

Three runners-up will each win a family ticket for any film in the festival.

Now in its eighth year, the Junior Dublin Film Festival will run from Sunday, November 23th to Friday, December 4th. Screenings of films for all ages from around the world will take place in the UCI cinemas in Blanchardstown, Coolock and Tallaght, in the Bray Cineplex, in the Virgin cinemas and in the Irish Film Centre, Temple Bar. A programme for the festival, the largest of its kind in Ireland, is available from the festival office, 6 Eustace Street, Dublin 2.
