The third edition of the competition encourages young talents to spread awareness on leading healthy lives and preventing risky behaviour among youth.
The Mentor Arabia Foundation and Zain Group have partnered to launch the third edition of the Youth Awareness Film Competition.
Applications are due by November 30, 2020, and can be submitted via www.FilmFreeway.com/YAFC.
Falling in line with the mission to support the youth, the competition encourages Arab youth (from the age group 18 to 30) around the world to portray their artistic creativity and innovation by developing short films that highlight issues of concern relevant to them and express their views on crucial social and developmental issues to protect children and youth from dangerous behaviour and raise awareness about healthy living.
The theme for this year’s competition is ‘Youth Fears & Aspirations’, aiming to encourage young talents to spread awareness through their movies, spread a culture of living healthy lives and making sound decisions, develop the ambitious spirit among the youth, enhance the importance of social responsibility among youth and provide opportunities to gain experience from specialists.
The two previous editions of the competition were held in cooperation with several public and private universities and youth foundations in twelve Arab countries.
The jury for the competition includes specialists, experts and famous Arab celebrities from social, artistic and media backgrounds. Prizes will be distributed to winners according to the jury’s grades and votes collected from the public via social media.
