Get your creative juices flowing with the 31 Days of May Video Challenge ! We’re inviting you to shoot short videos inspired by our list of 31 prompts for each day of May. The list of prompts will be released here on Thursday, April 30th at 12PM.

All are encouraged to participate! Whether you’re a video pro or an amateur; using a cinema camera or just a smartphone—grab a device and hit record!

Here’s how the challenge works:

  1. Check the list for the prompt of the day
  2. Record a video using the corresponding prompt as inspiration 
  3. Once you’ve recorded your video, share it with us! Join Ed Video’s Discord server to upload your videos and to see how others were inspired that day. Challenge participants may also post a link to their video on the server.

This challenge is meant to inspire creativity, so if you happen to miss a day, skip a day, join in late or drop off early, don’t worry. Just have fun and film! Participants will be entered into a draw for a complimentary Ed Video Producer Membership, which will occur during Ed Video’s Annual General Meeting this summer. *The winner of the draw must be in attendance at the AGM.

Join Ed Video’s Discord server HERE !
