Adobe Premiere has turned 25!

To celebrate the anniversary, Adobe has teamed up with Grammy-winning band, Imagine Dragons in order to give fans a chance to co-create a music video. Imagine Dragons are offering total access to the raw footage shot from their music video of “Believer”.  Using these video clips, fans can cut their own version using Premiere Pro (and Creative Cloud) to enter the Make the Cut contest that will be judged by a panel of industry pros, including two-time Academy Award winner Angus Wall, who edited films like Fight Club and Vinnie Hobbs, an Award-winning music video editor who has worked with Kendrick Lamar and Britney Spears.

The winner of the contest will claim a grand prize of $25,000 with additional award bonus prizes of $1,000 each and a year-long Creative Cloud subscription for four special categories:

. Fan Favorite: The most liked video by fans on the Adobe Creative Cloud Channel on YouTube.

. Most Unexpected: We have no idea what you’ll come up with but knock our socks off!

. Best Young Creator: The best up and coming editor under 25 years old.

. Best Short Form: The most impressive video that’s 30-60 seconds long.

And one special bonus prize of $2,500, a year-long subscription to Creative Cloud and 25 Adobe Stock credits, will go to the cut with the best use of supplied Adobe Stock clips.
