25,000 Reasons to Become an Explorer in Filmmaking: IMAX, Newsweek & The Daily Beast Present The IMAX® Award

For more than 40 years, IMAX has been fueled by the passion that lives inside filmmakers whose goals are to educate through exploration and storytelling. Exploring is a huge part of our foundation, and now, we’re passing along the opportunity for up-and-coming filmmakers to be recognized for their ability to take audiences to places they’ve only dreamed of going.

IMAX, Newsweek & The Daily Beast have partnered to present aspiring filmmakers with The IMAX® Award - to recognize those with a desire to compel audiences through exploration. By submitting a one-to-two minute video clip, contestants can enter for a chance to win The IMAX® Award. Along with this prestigious award, the recipient will receive a $25,000 scholarship or film production award and have their video presented at the Newsweek & The Daily Beast Explorer event in 2013. 続きを読む
