YouTube and Cannes Lions have partnered to search for two young creatives to win an all-expenses paid trip to this year's Cannes Festival and fill a new 38th place as Team YouTube in the 2009 Young Lions Film Competition.  What does that mean for you?  Well, if you're between 18 and 28-years-old, you can participate in this challenge. 

All you need to do is wait until May 15th for the creative brief to go online.  Then, you'll have 48 hours to make a video and submit it to YouTube.  After that, you'll have from May 17th to June 1st to get as many views on the video as possible!  Two winners will be picked, judged on creativity and the videos' views, ratings and footprint.  They will win an all-expenses-paid trip to Cannes to represent YouTube in the prestigious Young Lions contest.

This is a great opportunity for any young filmmaker to challenge themselves, work hard and possibly make it out to this year's Cannes Festival.
