So Nikon for the past month or two (I believe) have been holding what they call their "Nikon Festival" where everyone is encouraged to submit a 140 second or less video in an attempt to win $100,000 or $25,000 (viewer award). The coolest part of this contest is that Nikon allowed the submitters to film their 140 second video with any camera of their choice. The last day to submit a video was the 15th of December and since then 50 finalists have been chosen by panelists. The Judges for the competition are Chase Jarvis, Rainn Wilson (Dwight from The Office), and iJustine. Another awesome bonus is that both winners of the Judges Award and the Viewers Award both win Nikon's brand new shiny D5000 DSLR!
The finalists have yet to be chosen so head over to their website and check out some the awesome and amazing videos. Two of my personal favorites are "New York State of Mind" by Josh Friedberg and "Melody of the Mind" by Jonah Noel. I have included them below to give you just a taste of the quality of videos that have been submitted.
So what are you waiting for go check out the website and vote for your favorite films!
