Turn Your Travel Videos Into Cash

Triptakes_perrinpost by Brook Wilkinson

Are you the kind of traveler who never goes anywhere without a video camera? If so, have we got a contest for you: Conde Nast Traveler has teamed up with the 2008 CineVegas Film Festival to create Trip Takes, a new short film competition.

We're looking for films that best capture the power of travel, and are no more than five minutes long. Make it a comedy, a drama, a musical -- whatever best suits your personality and style of travel.

Five finalists will be flown to Las Vegas to watch their films get screened before an expert jury and a live audience. The jury will award a $5,000 cash prize to their favorite filmmaker. The festival and online audience will submit their votes to crown a second, $2,500 cash prize winner.

Better start editing that footage from last year's summer vacation now. Surf over to our contest Web site for details on how to enter, not to mention a chance to check out your competition.
