Due July 31st, 2010 - At Vimeo, we have front-row seats to some of the most ground-breaking films and videos being produced today. It's time to recognize the people pushing the boundaries of creative video online. The Vimeo Awards celebrates the innovative creators who choose the internet to share their work with the world.

This being the first year of the Awards, we wanted to go all out. That's why we have awesome judges to judge your work in a variety of categories and a jam packed 2 day festival to let everyone join in on the fun.

Submit your work in one of the following categories:
+ Narrative - Live action narrative fiction told through the medium of film/video.
+ Remix - A film/video that is comprised of elements such as sound and picture of other works which then combines them to become a metamorphic work.
+ Original Series - A periodically released collection of episodic content.
+ Documentary - Short films/videos that seek to document compelling actuality or reality.
+ Music Video - Short films/videos that accompany a complete piece of music or song.
+ Animation - A simulation of movement created by displaying a series of pictures or frames.
+ Motion Graphics - The use of the principles of graphic design to create a film/video using animation or filmic techniques.
+ Experimental - Short films/videos that experiment with new ideas, forms, techniques, and expressions that are often characterized by the absence of a linear narrative.
+ Captured - Videos that capture an artistic expression or performance.

Your video submission must be an original work created by You that has either (1) been premiered online between June 3, 2008 and July 30, 2010; or (2) has not premiered elsewhere at the time of Submission.

Entry Fee: The Entry Fee is U.S. $20.00 for the general public and U.S. $5.00 for Vimeo Plus subscribers.
