Zoomaal, in partnership with Hivos, are setting up the ‘Must See Film Challenge’

The ‘Must See Film Challenge’ will foster the vibrant independent film makers community in the Arab region and gives an opportunity for every aspiring film maker to get noticed by the crowd. The world as its audience! The challenge aims to gather movies from all genres and in all forms from around the Arab World that people won't find anywhere else. 

Movies the world must see! 

The ‘Must See Film Challenge’ seeks untold stories and unspoken voices from horrors to documentaries to adventures to comedies, from a Youtube series to anime.

The ‘Must See Film Challenge’ is an opportunity for every aspiring film maker to benefit from immediate exposure from movie buffs, movie industry professionals to movie lovers. Are you a movie maker then submit your movie project on Zoomaal's platform with the chance to receive up to $20,000 in matched funding, unlimited acknowledgments and a super career.

The deadline for project submissions is on the 15th of August 2014. 

Projects cannot be submitted during the challenge period: 20th of August - 20th of September.

All projects that are live on Zoomaal during the challenge period and follow the 'Must See Film Challenge' rules will be part of the challenge.

Qualified projects will receive a matched amount for every contribution their project receives.

For example, if Funder X contributes $100 to your project, you will receive an equally matched fund of $100 by Hivos.

Your project can receive the matched funding until either the allocated prize money ($20.000) is totally spent or until the deadline of the Challenge (15 September 2014).

Keep in mind that:
- The maximum of matched funds per transaction is set at: $100
- Only electronic payments are matched, i.e. PayPal and credit card integrations
