Win $50,000 For Your Short Film
Go to Amazon.com, and in the "Special Features" section (left-hand column, near the bottom), you'll find a link to the Short Film Competition. It's actually joint sponsored by Amazon, the Tribeca Film Festival, and American Express, and the prize for a seven minute or less film in Macromedia Flash format is no less than $50,000. Here's some info lifted off their page:
Welcome, filmmaker! Amazon, the Tribeca Film Festival, and American Express invite you to premiere your short film to an audience of millions by entering our Short Film Competition, whose grand prize is an American Express prepaid card in the amount of $50,000.
Through April 13, we're accepting submissions of films that have a total running time of no more than 7 minutes and are appropriate for a general audience.
Starting April 18, the films will be presented to Amazon customers, on a random basis, in the Tribeca Screening Room at Amazon.com. Customers will be invited to rate the films, on a scale of 1 to 5 stars, to determine the five finalists.
At the end of May, the five highest-rated films will each be featured on the Amazon.com welcome page over five weeks. Amazon.com customers will again be invited to rate the five finalists to determine the winner.
Any filmmakers out there who could use an extra 50 large?
