Mekong Mini Movie Festival Open to
Professional and Amateur Videographers
[HD video and podcast
below] Jens Thraenhart, Executive Director of the
Mekong Tourism Coordinating Office, used last week's ASEAN Tourism
Forum in Chiang Mai to unveil details of the inaugural Mekong Mini
Movie Festival.
Mekong Minis is a short-film competition
that aims to celebrate the rich travel diversity of the Greater
Mekong Sub-region (GMS). It offers awards across several
categories for the best movie submissions that capture the essence
of GMS daily life and travel.
The Mekong Minis competition is open to both
professional and amateur videographers alike.
Prizes include
unique Mekong country experiences inclusive of inter-regional
flights and accommodation plus the prestigious Irrawaddy Dolphin
Trophy to increase awareness of the endangered species.
Winners of
the country categories will be announced during the Mekong Tourism
Forum (MTF) on 27-28 June 2018 in Nakhon Phanom, Thailand.
Winners of the regional categories will be unveiled during the
ASEAN Tourism Forum 2019 in Halong Bay, Vietnam next January.
"We love the power that a short video of less
than 60 seconds can give new life to our most extraordinary Mekong
memories. It's the reason why we're launching
MekongMinis.com and
hosting the Mekong Mini Movie Festival competition-to celebrate
those inspiring, stunning, and just plain awesome Mekong moments
shared by everyday travellers and citizens," said
Jens Thraenhart.
"What's unique about the contest is that in addition to promoting
the region, companies can promote their business by encouraging
their guests and staff to add their own company hashtag."
