The aim of the competition is to capture the vibrancy of the North Laine shopping area, also known as the 'Soul of the City', in a two-minute video to be used on the homepage of our very own www.northlaine.co.uk website. The video clip will give potential new visitors to the area a taster of the unique atmosphere they can enjoy whilst shopping in the North Laine.
The first prize will be £250 with runner-up prizes of gift vouchers from North Laine stores. To get the ball rolling we already have a sample video from PirateMedia TV - here
Entry is free and the closing date is Sunday 1st of November. Entries will be posted up on the website as they come in and the ones which receive the most positive feedback from visitors to the site will be put forward for judging by NLTA members. .

 On the windy wet evening of Tuesday 11th March over thirty traders and guests braved the elements to attend the 2008 AGM of the North Laine Traders Association at Komedia. The evening started off at 6.10 by Chair, Sharon Thomas welcoming everyone and Peter Stocker giving the secretary's yearly review. Soozie Campbell then gave a report on the BID including Christmas lights, Unique Brighton website, various promotions. We then held elections of officers and Sharon Thomas was again elected as Chair, David Hall as treasurer and as Peter Stocker is moving premises and unable to stand as secretary those present voted to retain Peter as a paid co-ordinator for six months. The street reps were elected as shown in issue 86 of the NLTA newsletter.
The treasurer David Hall then presented the 2007 treasurer's report plus accounts and discussed membership levels and expenditure so far this year. There then followed a report on the North Laine website which has recorded over 276,000 individual hits since its launch. Quarterly results show strong growth, quarter 1. 2007 = 24,300 hits and quarter 1. 2008 over 56,000 hits. Brian Pedley was thanked for all his hard and very effective work.
Any other business included the NLTA adopting Jubilee Street, City in Bloom and questions asking for maps/signs around North Laine. Then guest speaker Jonathan Love from Business Link talked and answered small business related questions until the meeting finished at 7.30.
