Nikon Festival

Nikon announced the Nikon Festival, an online video/film festival created for consumers and aspiring filmmakers alike. As the first company to offer video capability on a still camera (the Nikon D90), the Nikon Festival was created to celebrate HD video, inspire creativity, empower people to share their POV in 140-seconds of video, and offer a means for aspiring filmmakers and photographers to get their work seen by acclaimed film, photography and technology professionals.

Check out the Nikon Festival here: www.NikonFestival.com

Actor Rainn Wilson (The Office), internet personality Justine Ezarik (iJustine) and professional photographer Chase Jarvis have all submitted personal videos as inspiration as they will also serve as the Festival’s judging panel. What’s great about the Nikon Festival, which runs through Dec. 15, 2009 , is the fact that two winners will be awarded in January 2010. One winner will be selected by the Festival’s judges and be awarded with $100,000 as well as a Nikon D5000 Outfit to continue their filmmaking career. The Audience Award, $25,000 and a Nikon D5000 camera kit, will be presented to the video that receives the most public votes during the audience voting period.

Please follow the Nikon Festival via Twitter (@nikonfestival) and become a fan of the festival’s Facebook page.

Due to the urgent nature of this, because this festival ends on 12/15. I have decided to share this info. with you all right away. More info. from me to follow.

Good Luck in the contest !
