2013 AWARD school graduates take out Virgin short film competition for St Kilda Football Club
Tom Vizard and creative partner Gil Benjamin, who both graduated from AWARD School Melbourne earlier this year, were recently invited by the St. Kilda Football Club to create a short film on their behalf for a campaign being run by Virgin Australia.
The video they created for St. Kilda ended up taking out the top prize of 30 return flights to America for altitude training, which was announced yesterday.
The campaign, entitled ‘AFL Tropfest’, was open to all AFL clubs, who were each encouraged to submit an entry based on the theme ‘going the extra mile’. The winner of the competition was to be decided on social media likes, comments, views and shares, which made it a challenging task for the pair, as clubs with bigger fan bases automatically had the upper hand.
They devised an approach for the video that they thought would appeal to a wider market, as well as gain media attention. The video was featured on all football programmes, as well as various newspapers.

Bloody good job boys!
Woohoo! Go Tom!
Just so gross. The rapping! God damn St Kilda.
Funny and clever, good one boys
MFC and EFC also ‘won’. Credit where credit is due boys
30 return flights to the US for altitude training?
Now that’s an award worth winning.
Don’t know you guys, but I hate you already. Well done.
Oh wait. They get nothing and the club gets everything.
Still, if anyone needs it it’s St Kilda.
Great stuff lads – well done!
Ripper work you guys. Keep it coming!
Two of the more impressive men you will meet in the industry.
Vizard in particular has shown that he is well on his way to making a name for himself beyond his father.
My bet- in a years time people will be saying Steve Who?
Get in quick before this pair is booked solid for the next 18 months.
nice one boys! keep up the good work!
…but the Melbourne one was a real tear jerker.
