 The Competition
What On Earth Is Going On? has been looking for films to play on MSN's new socially relevant content channel.

Submissions have closed for this competition, but winners will be announced in September.

We asked you to make a film that would be compelling, exciting, dynamic and challenging. That would enthuse the world to participate in positive social change. That would appeal to a global audience of over 500 million, engage the viewer and provide them with an understanding of the world that you live in. What On Earth asked you to share what's most important to you in your life.

We accepted films in any genre at all (live action, documentary, animation....), you simply had to consider the question What On Earth Is Going On?
 
 
 The Rewards
This is a chance to inspire the world.

15 films will be chosen to play on MSN's new channel for socially relevant content. The 15 winning filmmakers will receive $1500 (USD) and go on to compete for 3 final prizes. Our What On Earth Jury will select First and Second place winners to receive $7500 cash each and one Special Jury Mention to receive $5000.

The 3 Jury Winners will be announced in October.
