The 4th International Video Journalism Awards" is calling for entries!<br>
<br>
The Video Journalism Awards is looking for non-fiction videos from<br>
single authors, the so called videojournalists (short VJs). A VJ is<br>
responsible for the whole creative process starting from research and<br>
shooting as well as covering the whole process of editing and<br>
sometimes even the publication of the film.<br>
A small camcorder and a laptop are the tools of the VJ, which is<br>
comparable to the pen and paper a newspaper journalist uses.<br>
<br>
The final deadline for entering films for the 4th International Video<br>
Journalism Awards is the 15th of October 2008. The awards are produced<br>
by vjawards.com , the host is ZDF German Television in Mainz.<br>
<br>
The internet is converging all kinds of media, which is reflected by<br>
this year's theme "unlimited access". The awards try to cover all<br>
known fields of video journalism: films from TV-stations and<br>
publishing companies and productions from an independent background<br>
are awarded with a total of 12.000 of prize money going to the<br>
seperated categories "independent and online" and "TV production".<br>
Recent developements that influence the VJ-scene and future<br>
perspectives are discussed in the supporting programme of the 4th<br>
