The oneminutes are videos of exactly one minute, including credits. Worldwide, The One Minutes (TOM) Foundation and partners are organizing exhibitions, country competitions, award ceremonies, TV broadcasts and in 2008 the Olympic One Minutes in Beijing. One of the core activities of the one minutes foundation is the organization of a yearly award evening. An independent jury selects nominees per category, the nominated one minutes are shown and the winners receive a tommy award, fame, glory and if possible a financial reward.

In 2006, the award evening was held on 19 November in Paradiso, Amsterdam. Additional award festivals can be organized in other countries by partners of The One Minutes Foundation and will be announced on this website. The Belgian Branch, hosted by the Hogeschool Gent, organizes, in collaboration with the European League of Institutes of the Arts (ELIA), the official Belgian open competition. The Awards were granted October 26 at SPHINX Cinema in Ghent during the ELIA conference 2006.

The Olympic Oneminutes: In 2008 the Olympic games will take place in Beijing, China. The One Minutes Foundation has been invited to organize the Olympic Oneminutes, a worldwide Oneminutes exhibition of the best, the most interesting, one-minute videos from around 80 countries, together lasting 1000 minutes. There will be three categories:

  1. art
  2. (self) portrait
  3. the best of the world

The Olympic Oneminutes will be an exhibition with additional television broadcasts and videos on mobile phone, a manifestation that will show what artists, young people and others can create within the limited freedom of sixty seconds. There will be encounters, communal experiences and art never to be forgotten. The Olympic Oneminutes will take place in 2008, just before the Olympic Games, probably in the Millennium Art Museum in Beijing.
