The call for entries for the TECNO Mobile Movie Masters Program will run from November 12-20, 2021. To enter, interested participants must submit a 1-minute video where they explain why they should be considered for the program. Part of the video should include the participant speaking directly to the camera, while the rest of the 1-minute running time may be used creatively, and can include samples of past works, and other similar footage.

After the Qualifier Round, three semi finalists for the Movie Masters Program will be selected by TECNO Mobile, from among all the submitted videos. Each semifinalist will receive a cash prize of Php 25,000, along with a CAMON 18 Premier smartphone.

Semi finalists will need to create short videos, with the theme “Capturing Moving Moments in the Philippines.” All semifinal videos must be shot using CAMON 18 Premier, giving participants the chance to see the Movie Master smartphone in action, and experience its Super Steady Shot feature. Submitted videos must focus on one of three subjects – The participant’s hometown or city, to show what life is like there; an upcoming holiday, such as a vacation, get-together or celebration that they are looking forward to; or daily life scenes featuring real people around them.

The filmmaker with best video among the semi finalists will be awarded as the Grand Winner. The winning video will be selected based on storytelling, creativity and originality, and engagement, along with its technical quality, which includes cinematography, editing, background music, sound effects, and other audio.

The Grand Winner will receive a Php 300,000 film grant, together with the opportunity to create a short film about capturing moving moments in the Philippines, with the help of top local director, Paul Soriano, and his team at TEN17P. The completed short film will be released globally this December, and will feature 2021 in retrospect, conveying the message that, while life may shake us, we are all capable of overcoming challenges in order to live a steady life, with a beautiful and stable future to look forward to.

A runner-up will also be chosen, and will be given the title of TECNO Mobile’s 2022 Tourism Ambassador. The runner-up will receive a Holiday Travel Fund amounting to Php 40,000.
