Michael Fassbender is to help select the Grand Prize Winner of Your Film Festival, a new global competition on YouTube.
Entrants must submit a short, story-driven video in any format and genre to the competition's website: www.youtube.com/user/yourfilmfestival by March 31.
When 50 semi-finalists are selected, YouTube users will choose the 10 finalists, who will travel to Italy where their films will be screened at the Venice Film Festival and the winner will be announced.
The winner will receive $500,000 to "create a new work", with Fassbender and director Ridley Scott serving as producers.
