€20,000 up for grabs in short film competition

The European Commission is encouraging enterprising film lovers to prove their creativity and skills by producing a short video that deals with the following questions: What is entrepreneurship all about? What could encourage people to become entrepreneurs? What could counteract old prejudices and offer new visions of entrepreneurship?

Focusing on what entrepreneurship means to innovative Small and Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs), the producers of the best videos in three categories will be invited to a special award ceremony on 25 May 2010 in Brussels, as part of the 2nd “European SME Week“.

There are three categories:

  • ‘Entrepreneurship - a different way of life’,
  • ‘Entrepreneurship – Challenges and rewards’ and
  • ‘Entrepreneurship – The way into the future


Winners in each category will receive €3,333, while second place entries receive €2,222 and films in third place take home €1,111. Five additional prizes of € 555 will be awarded to the best producers under the age of 25.

The competition is part of a programme of activity being organised Europe wide by Enterprise Europe Network - a network of 300 European business gateways helping innovative companies do business and improve their competitiveness overseas.

The contest offers a chance for film-makers, students, entrepreneurs and members of business networks to showcase their talents at the awards ceremony in May 25 during the opening event of the European week for small and medium sized enterprises.

Deadline for entries is April 9th, 2010. The videos will be presented to a large audience of TV producers, journalists, representatives of the arts and business people.
