Nintendo is running a little contest where the grand prize winner is given $10,000 (imagine all the Wii Points you could buy with that!). How do you win said huge sum of money? All one needs to do is create a short film and submit it for Nintendo's Short Cuts Showcase. The winning video will be shown= at the Top of the Rock in New York City's Rockefeller Center. Entries should be three-to-five minutes long and can be mailed in directly on a CD or DVD before June 6th. Of course, Nintendo is encouraging you include the Wii in some manner.
For the details on what you can win (aside from the small fortune), check past the break.
First Place winner will receive:
• Trip to New York City for the winner and a guest
• Film screened at Nintendo Short Cuts Showcase at Rockefeller Center
• $10,000 in cash
• Exclusive meeting with Craig Hatkoff, co-founder of the Tribeca Film Festival

Very cool idea by Nintendo here. I am sure they will get plenty of great entries, and obviously one fantastic one. I wish I were more artistic, otherwise I would consider entering!

The contest is for US residents only. I just started thinking about a plot for my short movie masterpiece and then the contest rules crushed all my hopes. Why doesn't NoE come up with such a great idea?

Mail in a DVD or CD, eh? Sometimes I think it's such a shame there isn't another way of moving data across long distances.

Unfortunately, I don't think this could qualify as a Nintendo entry, but Mario is in it. This is a film that one of my friends created. I'm the voice of the narrator ;)

Easiest way to do this, dust off your old Composite cables and route them through your VCR
My movie will be narrated from my character on Phantasy Star Online (only game with easy text entry, as its KB compatible), and will be run exclusively off of Nintendo console Software.
now all i need is a plot...

Sad it's only for US. I have a [I think] very nice idea about a video concerning the Wii. It would be called 'WiiLife', and I guess the name gives a lot of information xD
