[Contest] Kitchener’s Youth Video Competition 2011

No Comment // Written on Apr 27, 2011 // Contests, News
The City of Kitchener’s Public Art Program is holding a student video competition! Win cash prizes and have your videos digitally projected on city hall, Kitchener.

  • - Open to youth, ages 12-25.
  • - Winners get cash prizes! (Details in link below)
  • - Finalists get great exposure — the videos will be projected on ’The Cube’ atop Kitchener City Hall using state-of-the-art Christie Digital projectors.

Keep in mind that these videos are going to be projected onto the Berlin Tower so it will be shown as a silent film. Making a silent film can be a very interesting project; having to work without sound really forces you to think creatively. Good luck!

Submission deadline: June 30, 2011, 4 pm
