Louis Vuitton in association with Hong Kong director, Wong Kar Wai presents the Journeys Awards. This international, short-film competition gives emerging filmmakers from the most prestigious film schools to exhibit their interpretation of the competition’s core question: Where will a journey take you?

15 short films have been selected, and it is up to the prestigious jury to decide who walks away with $25 g’s$ and sick bragging rights. Did I mention the jury is comprised of Wong Kar Wai, Sofia Coppola, and Gustavo Santaolalla?

There’s also a second prize: The People’s Choice Award. So check out the site and vote for your favorite film! All films are 2 minutes or less, so there’s no excuse!

I have a favorite. Who did you vote for?
