Objectives

Themes

Participants are required to create videos based on any of these 7 themes:

Reawakening

Sometimes it takes loss or longing to wake the heart. Tell a story where someone reawakens to love, purpose, or faith.

Reconciliation

Sometimes it takes loss or longing to wake the heart. Tell a story where someone reawakens to love, purpose, or faith.

Redemption

A character seeks to make things right after a mistake, betrayal, or loss. Explore how owning one’s actions — and choosing good — can transform even the darkest story.

When life breaks you down, what gives you the strength to rise again? Tell a story of courage, perseverance, and the quiet power of refusing to give up.

Resilience

Renewal

From endings come beginnings. Portray a moment where life, hope, or love is reborn — where something thought lost blooms again in unexpected ways.

Revelation

A hidden truth comes to light — reshaping how someone sees the world or themselves. Tell a story where realization becomes the spark for change.

Something broken — a bond, a dream, a home — is made whole again. Explore the gentle, redemptive process of healing and rebuilding with compassion.

Restoration
