The content creators’ competition is a partnership with the MasterCard Foundation as part of its Young Africa Works strategy. The goal of the Young Africa Works strategy is to create economic opportunities for 10 million young Nigerians, particularly women, to enable access to dignified and fulfilling work, especially in the creative sector and digital economy.

Eligibility

Young creatives will be required to create a socially conscious film that masterfully blends entertainment and the stark realities of Nigeria’s unemployed youths. The film could be a comedy, documentary, or any other scripted format. Using real or fictional characters, short-film entries are required to highlight key issues addressed in the report, including:

  • Less than 1% of unemployed youths receive support from government and religious organisations
  • 60% of unemployed youths in the North East have been without work for at least 3 years

A judging panel from ELCA will select the most promising and brilliantly executed films. The top 10 entrants will proceed to the next phase of the competition, where three contestants will emerge as the overall winners of the competition.
