LOUIS VUITTON is proud to announce the launch of the second edition of Journeys Awards: an international short film contest inviting emerging filmmakers to express their talent and creativity through their own vision of travel. In 2009, LOUIS VUITTON teamed up with acclaimed director Wong Kar Wai to create the first Journeys Awards film competition. For this second edition, another celebrity guest will head the jury of the competition: Italian director Luca Guadagnino, and call filmmakers to express what an encounter means to them in a 3 to 5-minute video. Journeys Awards is a tremendous opportunity for you to showcase your talent to an international audience and get media exposure. Candidates will be offered a chance to win two $25,000 prizes for the jury’s choice and the people’s choice awards. The two award winners will also be invited to an exceptional prize ceremony in Italy during the Venice Film Festival. You can visit the website to find out more about this competition (www.journeysawards.com). You have until June 18th, 2012 to complete and submit your films. Best Regards, The Journeys Awards team
