VideoJournalism Awards event cancelled, competition date extended

This from the organisers. Putting together an event of this kind is an herculean task in organisation, so my heart goes out to the Award's Execs, which is relatively small team. I'm certain it wasn't an easy decision to come to.

We regret to inform you that due to a cost schedule our conference planned for November 28 - 29th, 2008 has been cancelled.

Instead to this conference we are organising a press conference including the award ceremony in the last week in January 2009. The exactly dates will be advised in advance.

For this reason the Jury member´s meeting in October 23rd, 2008 has been cancelled as well.

BUT the competition keeps still online and we need as usual your outstanding support.

Due to the big volume of attendants for this competition the deadline to provide the films has been extended till December 1st, 2008.

Till the end of November, I will contact you in order to forward you more details about the Log-in for the voting.

The end of the voting is January 18th, 2009!

Viewmagazine.tv's David Dunkley Gyimah joins jury for International Video Journalism Award

The email came as below:

Dear David,

We’re writing in the hope that you will consent to be a member of our international jury (INTERNATIONAL VIDEO JOURNALISM AWARD) for the 4th International Video Journalism Awards, taking place this year in Mainz from the 28th-29th of November 2008......

I said yes. It's a real honour to be able to witness close up the transformation in video language production from any view, let alone that of a judge for one of the best video journalism awards around.

Congratulations once again to Sabine Streich and Albert Beckmann for selflessly giving us video makers the opportunity to show off our wares.

Each year the standard for this event has uped the ante from winners in 2006 such as German reporter (DW) Stephan Bachenheimer who spent three days in Guantanamo Bay and Dutch video Journalism Ruud Elmendorp.

You can see us here discussing their films after we emerged from the 2006 podium where the two and me came away with awards.

If you've got a film don't forget to send it into the awards at this website where you can find full details of entries etc.
