Submit your video now to the Vimeo Festival 2012!
Vimeo opened submissions a while ago for the second Vimeo Festival + Awards, which celebrates the most creative and original videos online, as well as the individuals who make them. Vimeo will award Grants of $5,000 to all of the category winners as well as awarding a Grant of $25,000 for the Grand Prize winner.
"Since our inaugural event, we have watched online video explode into a primary medium for new talent discovery," said Jeremy Boxer, Director of the Vimeo Festival + Awards. "More and more creators earn visibility, credibility and, ultimately, work by showcasing their videos online. We created the Vimeo Festival + Awards to celebrate the best of the best of these videos.".
Through February 20, 2012, filmmakers can submit their works for consideration in one of 13 different judged categories.
