Ladies and Gentlemen,

We have some pretty exciting news around these parts! Today, right now, we are announcing the very first Vimeo Festival and Awards (applause!).

Yep, we're doing it, and it's going to be awesome. The Vimeo Festival and Awards will be a celebration of the best original and creative video that has premiered online. Our goal is to reward the individual creators behind online video and acknowledge the internet as a quality medium of expression and distribution. And of course, we're going to do it in style.

The awards will be open to anyone who has premiered their work on any online platform. This isn't just a Vimeo thing, it's a video thing, and we're opening it up to everyone. The festival will then highlight the best of online video in an exciting offline environment for all to attend. We're cooking up some pretty cool stuff for these events, folks, and we can't wait to tell you more about our plans.

But first, take a deep breath, maybe sit down if you need to -- we know, we can't wait either! We'll be announcing plenty more details in the coming weeks, but you can stay in the loop by signing up for updates on the Vimeo Awards site.

Love,

The Vimeo Team
