Entries for Australia’s favourite short film competition, Tropfest, have been declared open – and this year’s Tropfest Signature Item is ‘mirror’.

It remains to be seen how filmmakers will work the mirror into their entries this year, but the festival is certain to again deliver some spectacular shorts to Sydney fans. Meanwhile, the new #TROPVINE competition is also open, meaning anyone and everyone can enter a six-second film.

Tropfest entries are open until Thursday October 2, while #TROPVINE entrants must submit by Sunday September 21. Tropfest 2014 will screen at Centennial Park on Sunday December 7.
