Two minutes to tell a story on film. And a top prize of S$15,000 cash.
This is Yahoo Singapore’s
inaugural made-for-web video competition. Called Yahoo Fast Flicks,
all you need to do is make a video with the theme - YOLO. Any style, any genre!
YOLO, in
non-millenial speak, is You Only Live Once.
Submissions will be accepted from October
7-21, and the best
30 entries will be handpicked and showcased across the Yahoo Singapore network
and social media.
The final top 10 entries and their teams will be
invited to the grand finale on November 14, when they will battle it out for the
top spot by making a final pitch to our esteemed judging panel: award-winning
filmmaker and chief executive officer of Zhao Wei Films and Gorylah Pictures
Eric Khoo, Singapore International Film Festival (SGIFF) director Zhang Wenjie,
and CEO of Infinite Studios and SGIFF Chairman Mike Wiluan.
What are the prizes?
First prize winners will take home a cash prize
of S$15,000, first runner-up will receive S$5,000, while second runner-up will
receive S$3,000. There will also be a special Yahoo Fast Flicks Fan Pick award,
where the winner will take home S$2,000. Each winner will also receive one
