Young Filmmakers: Enter Your Work Into This Competition

VICE is one of the judges of this year's International Journalism Festival Prize.

We love documentaries at VICE. We make a lot of them, and we watch a lot of them. We've got a whole website and TV channel full of them. So when Amazon asked us to help judge this year's International Journalism Festival Prize – in which entrants are asked to submit short documentaries – we instantly said: yes please.

If you're a filmmaker and want to enter your work, here's the brief: university students, aged 18 to 25 from across Europe, are challenged to make a video, two minutes or less in length, about "a story of transformation thanks to digitalisation and new technologies". As long as it fits the theme, that's very open to interpretation, so go wild.

The entries will be judged by Amazon and journalists from VICE UK, Italy's La Stampa, Germany's DWDL.de and Spain's El Pais. The five winners will have their films published on the websites of VICE, La Stampa, DWL.de and El Pais, and have their flights and accommodation for the International Journalism Festival – in Perugia, from the 5th to the 9th of April – covered by Amazon.

The contest is open now, and the deadline for submissions is the 6th of March, 2017. Students can submit their entry by filling in the form here, including a link to the video uploaded to Amazon Drive.
