Bell Shakespeare founder and Artistic Director John Bell will join with best-selling children's author Andy Griffiths, Channel 9 TODAY show weatherman Steve Jacobs, M&C Saatchi Senior Copywriter Genevieve Hoey and Optus Sponsorship Manager Geoffrey Nevill to decide who will win $5,000 cash and other exceptional prizes.

The competition challenges students to interpret a Shakespeare quote in any medium they choose, be it animation, film, photography and illustration - to be submitted electronically as a still image or movie file. Make A Scene encourages students to approach Shakespeare in a language they understand while giving teachers the opportunity to utilise technology within the prescribed curriculum.

The calibre of entries so far this year is proving to be higher than ever, with one student interpreting "Men should be what they seem" (Othello 3:3:129) by handpainting a depiction of his cardiovascular system on his upper body, and another student interpreting "Love look not with the eyes, but with the mind" (A Midsummer Night's Dream 1:1:234) in a 30 second Western-style silent film.
