Call for Talent! Annecy Festival Competition on YouTube
An event not to be missed!


50 years of creativity, innovation and technology – that's worth celebrating!
For its anniversary, the Festival is teaming up with YouTube to organise an original competition...

Open to all, it gives budding creators, students or industry professionals the opportunity to be a part of a world-renowned Festival.

Feel like being creative, making an animated film or adpating an existing production?

Taking part could not be easier: simply upload your film to YouTube between 1st February and midnight on 1st May 2010.

The film must be of a maximum running time of 5 minutes, be centerd on the theme of celebrations and anniversary and integrate the keywords: "50", "Festival" and "Annecy".

This is your chance to really get involved in the Festival!

The competition will run on the YouTube channel of the Annecy Festival where entrants can get all the latest news as of today: www.youtube.com/annecyfestival

From 2nd May, users will vote for the 10 best shorts (voting ends at midnight on 23rd May). A jury of professionals will then choose the winner from the 10 finalists (making their decision between 24th and 27th May).

The prizewinner will be treated to a week at Annecy 2010, taking place between 7th and 12th June, and the winning film will be screened during the event.

Happy Birthday Mister Festival!
