The Homevida Short Film Scriptwriting Competition is aimed at contributing to the development of the film industry through the promotion of films that incorporate social, cultural and national values. This year, the competition has focused on the theme ‘The Internet and Nigeria’ with the aim of evaluating the impact of Internet on various aspects of the Nigerian Society. The theme was divided into subcategories as follows:
Rights/Freedoms + Safety + Security (Cybercrime, CyberSecurity, Digital Rights and Freedoms)
Reputation (shifting perceptions online through historical accounts that connect to present day realities)
Economic/social impact (breaking/expanding historical/traditional boundaries through internet)
The best scripts from each of these categories were selected by a panel of expert judges, and the winning scriptwriters will be unveiled at the event along with a premiere of their short films.

The Creative Film Project, which will be launched at the event, is an initiative being developed by the School of Media and Communication and Homevida to provide young and upcoming scriptwriters with an online database to store their scripts. It also includes training and professional support for scriptwriters to help them convert their scripts into films. The primary objective of the Creative Film Project is therefore to bridge the gap between talented scriptwriters and the film industry.
