MOFILM
MOFILM presents the Cannes Lions Video Contest, another great opportunity for filmmakers of all calibers to flex their creative muscles and showcase their talent. The Cannes Lions 2011 competition requires filmmakers to choose from a selection of brands and create an original short video advertisement. A variety of companies are participating in the contest including Adobe, Vitamin Water and Microsoft, and each company has its own tailored prompt for video submissions. Winners will receive lavish cash prizes (at least one for each brand), a trip to the 58th International Cannes Festival of Creativity, and an exclusive screening of their video at the MOFILM awards night, as well as the opportunity to meet Jesse Eisenburg, star of The Social Network. There are also special prizes available for student filmmakers, so be sure to specify your academic affiliation. The submission deadline for the competition is May 30, so get to scripting and shooting if you want to be screening. Click the link above for details on the contest and submission details.
