PRODUCTION AWARDS

A production opportunity will be given to the top screenwriter and filmmaker who will be awarded $750 each to work together to co-write or co-direct a MIX short film or documentary production.  

What's more, The MIX has teamed up with a corporate partner to offer entrants the opportunity to submit their script or storyboard for the corporation's short film project, a FREE contest category if submitters have entered at least one other main category by the respective deadline (see the website for dates).  This is a time-sensitive contest category where writers and directors will have two weeks to respond to the corporation's call to action, and produce the winning script or director's storyboard. The top two winners will receive a cash prize, and if selected as the produced project, will get co-credit in the final production.

In partnership with Creative World Awards, the Top 20 finalists will also receive heavy industry promotion to several high profile companies.
