CVP, one of Europe s leading resellers and providers of professional video and broadcast solutions, and Canon UK & Ireland are proud to partner for the third consecutive year, as they aim to uncover exciting young creative talents and filmmakers through their 2025 Stories in Motion competition.
Following the outstanding success of the Awards over the past two years, the CVP and Canon Stories in Motion Awards continue to inspire creativity among young Content Creators, Filmmakers and Cinematographers aged 18 - 25. The competition is accepting entries from 02 December 2024 to 31 March 2025, offering participants the chance to win a range of exciting prizes, including a Canon EOS C80, high-value vouchers to spend at CVP, and the unique opportunity to spend the day shadowing an acclaimed judge of their choice, renowned for their award-winning cinematography and filmmaking achievements over the years.
The 2025 competition introduces a new category, Commercial - addressing an increasingly popular medium for young filmmakers alongside Documentary, Music Video and Fictional Short. The competition invites all individuals aged 18 - 25 with a passion for storytelling and cinematography to participate. Entrants can submit up to four films, each corresponding to one of the four categories, and their work will be judged by a distinguished panel of seasoned filmmakers.
The panel includes:
Elisa Iannacone Canon Ambassador, Cinematographer, and Photographer
Tania Freimuth Canon Ambassador, Cinematographer, and Filmmaker
Ollie Kenchington Award-winning Filmmaker, Editor, and Colourist
Jake Ratcliffe CVP's Technical Marketing Manager
The judges will pick three entries to be shortlisted per category, with one winner for each category and one final overall grand prize winner, all based on originality, creativity, cinematography and post production. Each shortlisted entry will receive a £200 voucher to spend at CVP, and the overall category winners will win an additional £500 voucher with CVP. The grand prize winner will receive in addition, a Canon EOS C80 and RF 24-70mm F2.8L Lens, as well as a Tilta Pro Filmmaker Kit worth over £1,500 and a one day experience on set with a judge of their choice.
On top of these exciting prizes, CVP and Canon are thrilled to announce an additional celebration, that all shortlisted entrants will be invited to a special Open House event at CVP Fitzrovia on the day of the awards ceremony. The event will be followed by a screening of their films during the exclusive awards ceremony held at a prestigious venue in London on Thursday 24 April 2025, once again hosted by British television presenter Alex Zane.
Dawn Bochenski, Marketing Director at CVP said:. "We are proud to partner with Canon for a third year to deliver Stories in Motion. Each year, we are increasingly impressed by the incredible narratives and creative vision showcased. These awards are a testament to our commitment to nurturing emerging talent and supporting the next generation of content creators and filmmakers providing a platform for aspiring storytellers to showcase their work.
Bochenski added: CVP aims to inspire creativity and innovation across the industry by providing access to test kit, free to attend workshops and masterclasses and technical guidance, and we are pleased to play a pivotal role in fostering the growth of these talented individuals and celebrating their achievements.
Neale Conroy, Marketing Director at Canon UK and Ireland, said: Canon is immensely proud to support this year's Stories in Motion competition in partnership with CVP. Now in its third year, this competition underscores both companies' wider commitment to developing and highlighting the next generation of storytellers.
Along with some fantastic prizes, including Canon kit, the opportunity to spend a day with a seasoned judge, gaining insights and practical advice will undoubtedly help shape future careers.
We eagerly await the diverse and innovative entries this year, which I'm sure will continue to inspire and elevate the art of visual storytelling.
