PROGRAM DETAILS
Upon submitting the application form, participants' dream projects will undergo initial screening by the organizing committee. Those shortlisted will have the opportunity to meet with judges in mid-May. Please prepare relevant materials about your dream project and introduce it during the interview. Winning teams selected in mid-June will attend a mentor meet-up and form 10 dream teams. Over the following six months, they will participate in various activities, receive professional guidance, gain access to job opportunities in the creative industry, receive media coverage, and have opportunities for school-based dream sharing. A graduation party will be held in October, and all shortlisted participants must attend it, along with training workshops, company visits, and other activities. Details of these events will be announced during the mentor meet-up after selection.
Shortlisted participants can also enjoy hardware support, such as equipment loans (e.g., filming equipment, props) and venue usage (e.g., hosting workshops, lectures).
