3 minutes. A mystery jury... And for the 5 best: a scholarship and a place in the Nation Lab incubator.
We are looking for 5 projects that lie at the intersection of the screen industry (film, television, digital media, video games) and entrepreneurship. Ideas with potential, a clear vision, and someone behind them ready to fight for them.
Is that you?

Are you an artist, creator, or entrepreneur in the cultural sector with a project at the intersection of culture and business? Your project may be in the idea, startup, or operational phase. We evaluate its potential, the clarity of its vision, and its impact on the community. Your project must be relevant to the screen industry.
The project is rooted in Afro-descendant culture or responds to a real need within the community.
There is a model, a vision of growth, a business logic behind the creative project.
In 3 minutes you understand what it is, who it's for, and why it matters.
The project has the potential to create value beyond its creator.
