How to Become Famous
If you’re not interested in fun, sun and fame – stop reading – if you are, apply and be part of one of the six German Young Lions teams participating at the Young Lions Competition.
You’ll sweat blood and tears to build your career and perhaps even end up celebrating as a winner. But there’s one slight catch – before you prove yourself internationally against more than 60 countries, you’ll have to prove yourself as part of a two-person team in front of a top-class preselection committee.
From all the applications, our jury will select the five best per discipline and invite them to the pre-competition in Hamburg.
Real Cannes conditions await you here: one task, 24 hours time (film category 48 hours). True to the motto: whoever sleeps, loses! Only the best team in each discipline may take part in the international Young Lions Competition.
Weischer is sending the Young Lions Teams to the Côte d’Azur. We will take care of flight, accommodation, and registration.
We are looking forward to great applications for 2025.
Sadly the application phase for 2024 already ended.
