tvebiomovies is a film competition open to anyone who enjoys making short movies and who wants to find out more about the environment as well as inspire other. All you need is a video camera or a smart phone – and your imagination. Your film could be funny or serious, an animation, a drama or a mini-documentary.
The first step is to send us your idea by 30 August 2017. You need to choose from two categories and send a short proposal.
The judging panel will select the three best proposals from each category. Each entrant who is selected receives US$300 to make their film.
The completed films will be uploaded to the tvebiomovies YouTube channel and let the public will decide which are the best films. The winners in each category are the films with the most views. There is a top-prize of US$1500 for the winner in each category.
This year the categories are:
- Invasive Alien Species – the problems caused when plants, animals, and microbes are introduced into an ecosystem where they don’t occur naturally.
- People and Protected Areas – when we protect nature with national parks, nature reserves, and wilderness areas, these ‘Protected Areas’ in turn provide people and society with many important benefits.
