Vimeo didn't fund my grant application

2025 Vimeo Short Film Grant, presented by Nikon | RED

Dear applicant, 

Thank you for submitting your work to the inaugural Vimeo Short Film Grant, presented by Nikon | RED, and for your patience as we completed our review process. We appreciate the work that goes into every application, and take the thoughtful consideration of each of them seriously.

Unfortunately, after careful deliberation, your project was not selected for the grant. Our team reviewed thousands of submissions, and read far more promising proposals than the five we are ultimately able to support this year. 

The response was truly overwhelming, both in volume and quality. We were blown away by the creativity, passion, and unique voices that shone through in every submission. It made the team’s decision incredibly difficult. 

We are sorry to not have better news to share with you. We wish you the best of luck with your project going forward, and hope to support work from you in the future. 

All the best,

Vimeo Curation
