The SDGs Short Film Challenge is an innovative platform designed to empower young filmmakers to spotlight developmental issues through the lens of sustainability. Participants are tasked with creating short films of no more than 15 minutes, showcasing the challenges and opportunities related to achieving the SDGs.

From tackling gender inequality to addressing climate change, these films are more than artistic expressions; they are calls to action. Through powerful storytelling, the Challenge invites filmmakers to engage audiences, provoke critical conversations, and inspire tangible action.

The inaugural edition of the Challenge, held in August 2023, garnered 73 entries from across Nigeria and culminated in a grand showcase on International Youth Day.

The success of that first edition laid a strong foundation for the 2024 edition, which has achieved unprecedented growth, attracting 2,250 submissions from 119 countries.

“This remarkable increase underscores the global relevance and appeal of this Nigerian-led initiative. A panel of esteemed jurors, drawn from the worlds of film, sustainable development, and global advocacy was empanelled to evaluate the entries to determine the top three finalists,”  the organisers said in a statement on Thursday.
