The inaugural YouTube Creator Institute programs begin in the United States in May this year.
The University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts is the country’s first film school and regarded as one of the leading schools in the world, with an alumni base of industry leaders and an array of notable accolades. The YouTube-USC Creator Institute takes place from May 25 until June 22 in Los Angeles, CA.
Columbia College Chicago’s Television Department has been innovating around new online media strategies for years, with students creating award-winning web-isodes while investigating new opportunities in the online space. The YouTube-Columbia College Chicago Creator Institute begins on May 31 and ends on July 22 in Chicago, IL.
Any U.S. citizen over 18 is welcome to apply, and candidates may apply online at
www.youtube.com/creatorinstitute from now until midnight on March 25. Applications include two short answer questions and a maximum two-minute demonstration of the creator’s craft, whether it be a short film, a clip of a personal cooking show, or a snapshot of a nature expedition (please make sure that you don’t exceed the 2 minute limit!). Afterwards, the YouTube community will vote for two weeks between March 29 and April 8 for their favorite creators. The top-voted candidates will move on to the final round, where our film and television school partners will choose the inaugural class for each of their programs, which will be announced on April 20 at
youtube.com/creators.
