A couple months ago I blogged about a unique Vancouver Film School scholarship competition that would leverage the YouTube community. YouTubers all the world over, including the 21,000 subscribers to the VFS channel, were challenged to make a 3-minute video on the theme “What Matters to You”.

Three successful contestants would win full-tuition scholarships to the winners’ program of choice at VFS. The entries were whittled these down to 10 finalists from around the world and the winners were announced today.

Jorge R. Canedo Estrada, 17, of Mexico (Digital Design)
Christopher Harrell, 25, of the United States (Digital Design)
Stefan Ramirez Pérez, 19, of Germany (Foundation Visual Art & Design)

Harrell's winning entry is below and you can see the other two winning submissions on VFS's YouTube channel.
