The Contest is part of the Vietnam Green Screen Campaign: Road to Sustainable Development launched by the VFDA in January.

Participants are to tell a simple yet inspirational fictitious story, or to reflect the current affairs in the form of a documentary about the impact of human choices and decisions on the environment.

Participating films must be produced after January 5, and have not entered any other competition.

The Organizing Committee will select 20 scripts/projects from participating films in the prequalification/pitching round. Then, there will be 6-8 selected scripts/projects whose filmmakers receive a production cost of VND20 million ($887) per film. 

Submission deadline for scripts/projects and film is on March 31 and July 31 2022, respectively.
