| The ANNUAL Leonard Cohen Video Scholarship
Arranged and sponsored by the Cohenights Arts Society The goal of the Leonard Cohen Video Scholarship Competition is to engage young film makers in the creative interpretation of Leonard Cohen’s recorded music in order to widen the appreciation of his music with young listeners and viewers and to further their artistic development. This scholarship competition is sponsored by the Cohenights Arts Society, a non-profit organization that supports the development of community-based cultural initiatives influenced by Montreal-born Canadian icon Leonard Cohen. Leonard Cohen’s work as novelist, poet, singer and songwriter crosses national and cultural divides and connects a diverse community of supporters around the world. The Cohenights Arts Society wishes to extend this community to high school students by encouraging them to listen to Leonard Cohen’s songs. A special group of high school students, who have an interest in video-making, are invited to create a video based on the interpretation of a Leonard Cohen song of their choice. The video submitted must use as its only sound track an unaltered original Leonard Cohen song as sung and recorded by Leonard Cohen himself. No covers, other artists singing Leonard Cohen’s songs are permitted. This scholarship competition has the approval of Leonard Cohen and Sony BMG Music Canada, the owner of the Leonard Cohen music rights. All video content must be the original work done by the student submitting the video interpretation. The video must be produced by and directed by a student, who is registered in a high school in Alberta, Canada. The student directing and producing the video will be eligible for the scholarships. The video content must not contravene acceptable standards of public decency and legality. Videos will be judged on artistic merit, clarity and creativity in the interpretation of the Leonard Cohen song, production value, overall impact and vision expressed. The jury is not compelled to make an award if videos submitted do not meet minimum standards. The decision of the jury is final. Submissions will not be returned.
