Vimeo is launching its second annual Short Film Grant Program, doubling last year’s prize pool to $300,000 to be split among five emerging filmmakers.

In addition to receiving funding to create an original short film, the five selected filmmakers will also receive mentorship and resources to aid their filmmaking process and accelerate their careers.

“So many filmmakers attribute their success to the moment when someone took a chance on their work before the rest of the world knew their name. We want to create more of those opportunities,” said Ina Pira, the head of curation at Vimeo. “With Vimeo’s Short Film Grant, we’re looking to discover the next generation of filmmakers and give them the resources, encouragement and community support they need to bring their creative vision to life.”
