"Why Do You Explore?" National Geographic Short Film Competition

http://www.iprizeexploration.org

X PRIZE (www.xprize.org) is dedicated to the concept of exploration. As humanity faces an increasing number of challenges, it’s critically important to push the boundaries of knowledge and to uncover innovative new ways of thinking about our planet—and ourselves. So we’re hosting a video contest that asks: “Why do YOU explore?”

A full library of assets is available in our online editor tool to help videomakers tell their stories – or they can submit original pre-edited pieces (they must confirm they either own or have full rights to use all images and music in their videos). This contest provides entrants with a prestigious platform to promote their video work and artistic expression.

The grand prize is a $10,000 National Geographic Expedition, and three second prizes offer a cool Airship Ventures zeppelin ride over San Francisco.

The final cutoff for submissions is in early April, but there's an early submission deadline coming Feb. 15 with extra incentives*

Contest information can be found at www.iprizeexploration.org.

Good luck, and we hope to see a submission from you!
