With the launch of the new Film Scope on the Ubuntu phone, users can now watch movie trailers, read reviews and discover film choices. We’ve managed to get Sci-Fi fan and famous DJ Yoda on-board to be part of a new competition we’re launching.

We’re inviting the public to create their own Sci-Fi film GIFS where DJ Yoda will judge the best. All we ask is that you be as creative and original as possible!

Here’s how to enter:

  • Create your most original Sci-Fi film GIF
  • Upload to Twitter with hashtag #UbuntuGoesSciFi
  • Keep the force with you as DJ Yoda judges!

Winning prizes for the top three include:

1st: Meet and Greet DJ Yoda, Pair of Bestival music tickets (including luxury camping and 2x Flights) and an Ubuntu Phone
2nd: CD album ‘The Breakfast of Champions’ from DJ Yoda and an Ubuntu Phone
3rd: An Ubuntu Phone

We close on Tuesday 25th August at 5pm (BST) – can’t wait to see your entries!

DJ Yoda is a famous hip-hop turntablist who’s one of the world’s finest manipulators of music and moving image. He’s a winner of the DMC DJ of the year, a regular guest on BBC Radio 1 and has been nominated by Q Magazine as a ‘Top Ten DJ to see before you Die.’
