Scholarship Description
Applications are hereby invited for the 2013 Travel Film Scholarships.
The 2013 Travel Film Scholarship is off to New Orleans to experience one of the most unique and rich cultures in the U.S. This assignment is about really finding out what makes this melting pot of a city tick – from exploring Mardi Gras traditions to delving into the vibrant music and food scenes that the Big Easy can claim as their very own.
You’ll spend 10 days in New Orleans under the mentorship of filmmaker and director Brian Rapsey. In that time you will be producing 3-5 three-minute travel-themed videos that will be shared with the world!
Any non-professional/s can apply – this is open to film students, or anyone who’s trying to build a career in film making and/or presenting!
Minimum age 18 (by application deadline) with a current, valid passport and you must be available as per the dates set out. Please note these dates are not changeable in any way.
You may be a resident of any country (subject to obtaining a U.S. visa).
You should be a mad-keen auteur with a lust for adventure and burning desire to be a filmmaker and/or presenter.
You must be fit and healthy as moderate levels of physical work are involved as well as a number of late nights!

Solo Application:
You must have solid film making skills, but more importantly, you must shine in front of the camera. People need to be inspired to travel, and to travel with you. The winner will essentially be a one-man show, needing nothing more than a camera and a sense of adventure to unearth a great story.
Team Application:
Some of you are excellent filmmakers, with zero desire to see your face on film. And there are others of you out there that are talented in front of the lens, but are hopeless behind it. So, if you decide to apply as a pair, you can be a combination of one filmmaker and one presenter or two people who can use a camera and stand in front of it.
DEADLINES:
Entries close November 6, 2013, 2pm AEDT (Australian Eastern Daylight Time UTC +11). Please don't leave your entry until the last minute, and note that the 2pm closing time is AEDT, not necessarily 2pm in YOUR time zone.

You need to be available to be in New Orleans from February 26-March 8, 2014 (dates may vary by a few days) to participate in the project.

You will keep a daily diary about your time on the trip and upload this plus pictures you've taken to your WorldNomads.com travel journal.
