The audiovisual service of the European Commission has the largest collection of audiovisual archive material relating to the founding of the European Union. The number of digitised items accessible on its website totals over 1,300 videos, 30,000 photos and 11,000 historical audio files.

Submitted clips must include at least 50% archive material. Applicants should convey a positive and original vision of Europe with an artistic, documentary, humourous or fictional angle, picturing personal or public situations, current or historical.

The candidates should post their clips directly on the dedicated channel on Dailymotion. Considering in the first instance the votes of the internet users, a jury put together by the European Commission will draw up a shortlist of three finalists. The finalists will be invited to present their clips during a screening organised by the European Commission at MIPTV 2010 (12-16 April 2010). The winner who will receive an amount of €10,000 will be announced at the Content 360 award ceremony held at MIPTV 2010.

The closing date for entries is 15 March 2010.
