There are many talented filmmakers out there. Young people with lots of ideas, creative potential and enthusiasm. Sometimes all it takes for them to take the step from mere talent to successful professional is a platform with international appeal, where they can present themselves and their work. If you are one of those promising talents from an international film school, if advertising film is the focus of your studies, and if you enjoy competing with other young filmmakers throughout the world, the
PORSCHE INTERNATIONAL STUDENT ADVERTISING FILM AWARD is the ideal platform for you. This competition is hosted by the Baden-Wuerttemberg Film Academy and was initiated in 2004 -- in cooperation with Porsche as the main sponsor of this event.
The famous sports car manufacturer Porsche as a globally active company has
its headquarters in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, close to the Film Academy in Ludwigsburg, and is known worldwide for its exclusive, fast and high quality products - just as we expect the same of the submitted commercials. In the spirit of the classic Porsche 911 sports car, the top three young filmmakers will receive cash prizes of EUR 3,911,EUR 2,911 and EUR 1,911. In addition to the three prizes of the first classical category, the New Ways Award of EUR 2,356 will be awarded in a second category for all other advertising formats.
Moreover, all four winners will each receive a trophy in the form of a slingshot - as a symbol that they have „hit the mark“ with their spots.
We would be very happy if you decided to enter the competition and joined the award ceremony on Thursday, the 8th of November 2012, when the selected films are presented and when you get the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with your fellow competitors. We are looking forward to your contributions and to welcome you to Ludwigsburg.
