I have a feeling that some of the later competitions might only have been available for distribution on DVD, but I have no idea if any were made available for sale. In earlier years, I believe the magazine(s) running the competion has film copies available for hire - I wonder what happened to these prints?

At least one 10 Best film - 'Willow Place' - was actually released as a 400' Super 8 release by Perry's Movies. I have this but I don't suppose that many prints were made.

Sounds interesting Adrian you don`t have a scan of any frames from it do you. What was it about please.
Many Thanks Mark.

Hi Mark
No scans I'm afraid. I haven't run it for years - must do so sometime - but it's a suspense thriller type production. Someone is the victim of something quite unpleasant - I can't recall what exactly, although I think someone is 'helped' to fall down some stairs.

Hi Adrian, it sounds very interesting, never seen a copy anywhere myself, amazing what popped out of there in the 70`s.
Best Mark.
