The rule is simple: On YouTube, you find any video. On Vimeo, you find the good ones. The Vimeo awards showcase some wonderful short films in thirteen different categories. All of them are worth your eyeballs, but if you have but little time, watch the winners of the categories Lyrical and Action Sports. And if you have a lot of time – there are also four non-winning finalists for every category right there to watch.
