The VC Digital Slam challenge was a short film series introduced in 2003, running until 2005, which invited all members of the Visual Communications community to create a 30-second video piece reflecting VC’s belief that compelling stories can be told without the extravagance of time or money. As an effort to maintain inclusivity and encourage artistic creativity, all submissions were accepted as long as participants followed the two main rules of the challenge: 1.) The Digital Slam piece had to be 30 seconds or less, and 2.) submitted by the proposed deadline. Every year coincided with a specific theme each Digital Slam entry had to incorporate into their films, but many filmmakers dedicated their submissions to Linda.
