The competition is set to officially begin on June 7, featuring a range of activities including script drawing and training sessions, script evaluations, production skills workshops, and a 24-hour short film challenge, in which teams will produce 3- to 5-minute films. The event will conclude with a gala night showcasing the films and announcing the winners.
The contest offers a total prize pool of VND250 million (approximately US$9,600). The top prize includes a special three-day, two-night filmmaking trip to Singapore, mentored and professionally supported by industry experts.
