The Directorate General for Enterprise and Industry has launched its new video award focusing on entrepreneurship. The award aims to encourage enterprising film lovers to prove their creativity and skills by producing a short video that deals with the following questions: What is entrepreneurship all about? What could encourage people to become entrepreneurs? What could counteract old prejudices and offer new visions of entrepreneurship?

The European Commission is awarding prizes in the following three categories:

· "Entrepreneurship – A different way of life"

· "Entrepreneurship – Challenges and rewards"

· "Entrepreneurship – The way into the future"

The winning video in each of the three categories will be awarded € 3,333, the videos in second place will be awarded € 2,222, and those in third place will receive € 1,111. Five additional "special winners" will be awarded € 555 each. These special prizes are reserved for persons aged 25 or younger
