Global Village launches Dh1m competition for student scholarship worth over Dh1 million

Two students will get the chance to win scholarships worth more than Dh1 million with Global Village’s Young Directors Award competition. Global Village partnered with Bloom World Academy to launch the competition on Tuesday (January 10). Based on the theme “My more wonderful world”, the competition invites children between the ages of 5 and 14 to create a short video that tells the story of what they, or someone they know, would do to make the world a better place, or how they are already helping to build a more positive future. The video entry could feature the participant, a friend, a teacher, a family member or someone in their wider community who is helping make the world more wonderful by making a positive impact, big or small. The competition is divided into two age group entry categories; Juniors (aged between 5 – 10 years) and Seniors (aged between 11 – 14 years old). Judges include Saeed Aljanahi, Director of Operations of Dubai Film & TV Commission; John Bell, Principal of Bloom World Academy; Nyla Usha, actress and host of The Big Breakfast Club on Hit 96.7; Emirati Director Nahla Al Fahad and Dubai Eye 103.8 radio presenter Helen Farmer. All finalists will be invited to experience their very own red carpet inspired premiere, where their films will be shown to thousands of Global Village guests at the Kids’ Theatre stage. One lucky winner will be selected from each category and announced as the winners of the Bloom World Academy scholarships worth over Dh1 million. ICA/Expat Media
