Three outstanding participants will be selected to travel to Cameroon to present their work during the Culture and Creative Industries Forum. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) will cover international flights and provide a Daily Subsistence Allowance (DSA) for the selected participants.

Winners will also have the opportunity to pitch their creative projects to private sector partners for potential collaboration, partnerships, or investment. In addition, participants will expand their professional networks by connecting with fellow young creatives from across Africa and the diaspora while gaining increased visibility and access to future opportunities that can help grow and sustain their creative work.

Applicants must be young Africans with a creative project that promotes peacebuilding, dialogue, social cohesion, tolerance, or inclusion. The challenge welcomes submissions from individuals working across various creative sectors, including performing arts, gaming, digital art, fashion, and crafts and artisan production.

Projects may take any artistic form provided they can be shared digitally or online. Eligible submissions include music, short films, theatre productions, spoken word, poetry, storytelling, digital illustrations, photography, animation, graphic design, fashion collections, handmade crafts, games, interactive learning tools, multimedia productions, and other innovative artistic works that contribute to peaceful and inclusive communities.
