It’s award season and Uber and 90 Seconds are getting in on the lights, cameras and all the action!

Over 170 short film concepts were submitted, with original stories told from the perspective of Uber riders, drivers and cities across Australia and New Zealand. Now, it’s your chance to ride, watch and vote for your favourite.

Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 short films, including a $10,000 cash prize for the film with the most votes.
