A committee comprised of experts on migration, counter-trafficking, film and media including the jury -Nigerian filmmakers, Judith Audu and founder, Bluhouse Studios, Lagos, Uzoma Blessing Chibuike, will select the top submissions in the competition’s two main categories Popular Vote and Official Competition.
Deadline for submissions is July 14, 2024, whilst the announcement of winners will coincide with World Day Against Trafficking in Persons on July 30, 2024.
