2 Chances to win $$ with your video

Here’s your chance!

OK

Every once in a while an opportunity arises to make some money out of your video.

Today, I have TWO!

First, Nokia is offering you $5000 to support ‘making your film’ (if they accept your idea) and a shot at the $10,000 grand prize which is going to awarded at the Edinburgh Film Festival.  Edinburgh, by the way, is a lovely town – so long as you are not there in January.

Here’s the link to all the contest details.

Second – Youtube is putting up 500,000 Euros to suppprt new filmmakers.

I am pretty sure this if for UK filmmakers, but it’s always worth taking a shot.

The Internet, after all, knows no boundaries and if they ask for a UK address, just say, Buckingham Palace.

That should move you to the top of the list.

In any event, they’re giving out 25 grants of 25,000 Euros each.

Here’s the link to the Youtube deal

Don’t forget us when you are rich and famous!
