Canon’s $100,000 First Cut contest returns to help creators fund their dream projects

Canon is putting another $100,000 straight into creators’ hands to help them bring their dream projects to life.

Last year, Canon introduced its First Cut Contest, which called on digital content creators and filmmakers to submit a video pitch for the project they would make if they had proper production support and funding.

Winners Braxton Haugen, Jazzy Hawley, Zahra Hussain, and Josiah Selvig each took home $25,000 by impressing Canon (and pro creator judges Colin & Samir, Josh Richards, Michelle Khare, and Rory Kramer) with ambitious glimpses at the stories they wanted to tell.

Hussain, for example, sent in a VFX showcase short film where a woman is captivated–and maybe even captured–by a mysterious old TV she finds on the street. Hawley offered a trailer for Edge of the Lot, her “Superbad meets Gossip Girl with a small-town twist” coming-of-age comedy series based on her experiences growing up in Mariposa, California.

Now, First Cut is back–and giving creators an even greater chance to shine.

Canon wants video content-makers to send in their “boldest pitch yet”: a one- to three-minute video that goes beyond the typical and gives judges a taste of their unique perspective, cinematography, and storytelling skill.

Just like last year’s competition, all submissions must be posted publicly to YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.

Canon will bring 12 finalists to Los Angeles for a grand premiere hosted by Remi Parsons . 3 IS STM PZ lens, a DM-E100 stereo microphone, and an HG-200TBR tripod grip.
