They guide filmmakers and journalists on a single project, and provide a supportive network of mentors and peers through the production and completion of their project.

They seek to champion diverse emerging talent, and particularly encourage submissions from underrepresented groups (people of colour, ethnic groups, women, LGBTQ+, or people with disabilities) as well as from people from and based in the global south.
