From Sunday, Oct. 7, through Friday, Nov. 9, filmmakers from Brazil, Canada, France, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States can submit their best original works that showcase their personal style and creativity.
Jason Reitman, director of Thank You For Smoking and upcoming Fox Searchlight release Juno, along with a panel of experts, will narrow the field of entries down to 20 finalists.
The YouTube community will then vote on the finalists from Friday, November 23 through Sunday, December 2.
The winners will be unveiled on Wednesday, December 5.
"YouTube provides a great platform for independent filmmakers to build and grow a global audience for their short films and video projects.
Project Direct will recognize the best filmmakers and reward them for their creativity and ingenuity," said Jamie Byrne, head of product marketing, YouTube.
"We created this competition for an international audience as video is a universal way for people to communicate and express themselves."
