Pro Moviemaker magazine’s third annual Awards recognise all kinds of professionally produced content that’s watched across the globe on websites, YouTube, Vimeo and social media – as well as branded content, marketing and social media films and shorts, adverts and vlogs. We celebrate original content. These MPB-backed Filmmaker of the Year awards are about innovation in either long- or short-form content in lots of different classes, with extra awards to recognise editing, lighting, audio, cinematography and visual effects too. Entrants can be individuals or part of a team, and simply have to link to their chosen entry if it’s online, or submit work directly to us. The contest closes on 30 May , at which stage entrants will be judged by a panel of experts looking for originality, creativity and all-round excellence. Entering is easy. Just choose a category – or categories – and let the world see your work. There’s no lengthy process to enter; it’s totally free and you don’t have to make a bespoke showreel or new film.
