'Vin offers the most emotionally rounded night possible - one minute your sides are splitting at his unabashedly comedic persona, the next you'll be jettisoning  your eyeballs in a Genevea Fountain of tears.' Marcus Ross, Dorset Echo

Musicians, singers, songwriters & lovers of campfire music - start the weekend on a musical note with a Campfire Music  night - a Territory-style acoustic jam session held around the campfire at the Darwin North RSL - on the 1st Friday of the month - from 7pm.

The Environment Centre NT has launched ‘Wild NT’ – a short film competition celebrating the 2010 International Year of Biodiversity. 
Judged by a group of respected film industry professionals and Territory identities, the winners will be announced and winning entries will be screened at the George Brown Botanic Gardens on June 5th and 6th 2010, as part of the Top End Sustainable Living Festival programme.
Wild NT aims to encourage students, teachers and the wider community to reflect on the subject of biodiversity, or the ‘web of life’. Here in the Northern Territory our biodiversity is world-class. We are fortunate to be living in awe-inspiring landscapes and to be sharing our home with many unique plants and animals. The challenge we are putting out to budding film-makers is this: can you showcase an aspect of the Territory’s biodiversity and help people to discover and understand why it is important and how we are all connected with it?
Film-makers are encouraged to focus on themes such as:
* Celebration of the Northern Territory’s unique biodiversity
* The direct connection to and relationship with biodiversity held by people
* The consequences of biodiversity loss and the importance of biodiversity for sustaining our quality of life in the Northern Territory
* Threats to the health and existence of the Northern Territory’s biodiversity
* Local initiatives that support and conserve biodiversity – and the benefits that we all share as a result of these conservation efforts

Films should educate, inspire and motivate Territorians to take action to safeguard our biodiversity. They should weave a link between people, plants or animals, and place.
The competition is open to all and there are two categories for submissions – Schools and Open.  

The winning films from each category will receive cash prizes of $2000 and runner up films will receive prizes of $1000 each.
Film Length: - 3 – 5mins
Desirable Film Format: DVD Pal / 16:9 Widescreen
Deadline for entries : 17th May 2010

Vicki Kerrigan and Kate Sieper have the great pleasure of inviting you to the opening night of Viva! Happy Snaps of Timor-Leste at CCAE Gallery in Harriet Place, Darwin from 6pm on the 19th of March 2010.

Timor-Leste is the world's newest nation - it is also Asia's poorest nation - struggling with a lack of infrastructure, health care, education and industry. This exhibition reveals that the fledgling nation is also one of incredible spirit and truly stunning natural beauty - and as Timor-Leste finds it's place in the world, 10 years on from independence, these photographs celebrate the joy and strength and vitality of Darwin's near neighbour. Viva, Timor-Leste.

The limited edition photographs in the exhibition are for sale, proceeds going to the charity Life, Love and Health which works in Timor-Leste on water, sanitation, agriculture and school projects, to name a few. It is dedicated to building local capacity for the future while also immediately benefiting the lives of the Timorese.

We hope the photographs will inspire Australians to turn to Timor Leste as a travel destination, and to experience first-hand the incredible natural beauty of the place, and the incredible welcome of its people.

To that end, and thanks to the enormous generosity of our sponsors, we will also be auctioning two return Darwin/Dili AirNorth tickets.

Please join us on the 19th of March from 6pm at CCAE Gallery, 2/2 Harriet Place, Darwin for the opening night - or drop by and experience the spirit of Timor-Leste before the exhibition closes on the 1st April.

We look forward to seeing you there and please, bring your family and friends too.
