The YouTube Creator Institute’s inaugural class


People who create content for YouTube today come from all walks of
life: aspiring filmmakers, moms with cooking shows, teenage gossip
vloggers, fantasy football commentators, ironing skydivers—the list
goes on and on.

Very often, these dedicated YouTubers wear several hats at once: actor,
writer, director, producer, cinematographer, studio head, and lead
marketer—in other words, to get their videos to the world, they need to
know how to do it all. But we figure there are people out there who’ve
always wanted to express themselves through video, but may be limited
by funding, video-making skills, insufficient tools, or just knowing
where to start. That’s why today we’re establishing the YouTube Creator
Institute - the first initiative from YouTube Next - to help nurture
these content creators, existing YouTube partners, and the next
generation of stellar YouTube talent with the skills they need to
thrive online and offline.

We’ve worked with some of the world’s leading film and television
schools to put together the YouTube Creator Institute. Based both at
YouTube and onsite at the campuses of our institutional partners,
participants will learn from a unique new media curriculum, apply new
media tools, find out how to build their audiences, be promoted
globally on the YouTube platform, and engage with industry leaders and
experts. Participants will learn everything from story arcing to
cinematography, money-making strategies to social media tactics. The
wider YouTube community will be able to learn along the way, too, by
following the rise of the YouTube Creator Institute’s inaugural class
on YouTube this summer.

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 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. Afterwards, the YouTube community will vote for two weeks
between March 28 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. Learn more about
the application and judging criteria.

Stay tuned for more YouTube Creator Institute and creator opportunities
in the near future.
