Ideas for the totally legal SUFF competition 2011
We'd like to recieve a whole lot more competition entries for our totally legal SUFF comp than we have been, so if you've been thinking about entering, now's the time!
We will accept drawings, pictures, photos - even macaroni art - as long as it has a recognisable version of the SUFF logo in your image it's good to go. If you like, get a bunch of friends to model the logo for you. Or head on over to Reverse Garbage and create something out of the ordinary. Whatever you do, just enter a photo of your work by sending it to jane (at) suff.com.au.
Here's a fabulous entry from Oba:
What will you send us?

SUFF dines out in style at Summer Hill's Pier 26
Recently we were lucky enough to have our staff meeting at the glorious Pier 26 restaurant in Summer Hill, Sydney. We literally received mountains of seafood, as you can see in this pic. Since the image pretty much speaks for itself all we have to say is the service was as good as the seafood.
We're glad this place is Summer Hill's secret. Thanks Pier 26 for having SUFF!

The totally legal SUFF competition 2011
If you've read our newsletter, you'll know we are running a little competition – and anyone can participate! All you need is to know is what the SUFF face logo looks like and apply this logo to wherever your imagination takes you! Then just snap a happy snap and email it to jane [@] suff.com.au.
It could look something like this:
Or... well, we're sure you can do better than us.
You could also stencil the local stray cat*, sticker the back of your boss' car, or perhaps your local tranny performer’s crotch (with her permission of course!) - whatever you heart desires. [Disclaimer: SUFF takes no responsibility for where their image ends up.] As long as the SUFF logo is clearly visible - although obviously the more creative, out there and just plain weird it is, the more we going to like it.

If you would like a stencil sent to you, you can also email Jane for this - or better still, make your own! AND you can enter as many times as you like! We will be giving away DVDs, festival passes, stickers, tshirts and more! Entries will be posted right here, and occasionally on facebook and twitter.
Winners will be declared randomly throughout June, July and August 2011.
*Please use edible colouring. Cats are people too.

SUFF turns five! Bring on the festival for 2011!
Hello there! Yes, SUFF turns 5 this year, and we're celebrating by doing what we do best - holding another great festival (if we do say so ourselves!). We're receiving some fantastic entries again this year, and the good news is it's not too late to enter - the very latest deadline is Friday 24 June 2011. Having said that, we really appreciate receiving films as early as possible so the committee who has the tough job of selecting the films aren't put under *quite* so much pressure! Dedicated as they are, we don't want to be responsible for making them look like this.
We're also about to unveil our new competition here on these pages, and it's something everyone can get involved in - so stay tuned.
