All travel and adventure enthusiasts are invited to submit their 5-minute films showcasing South Africa’s unparalleled outdoor culture before 31 July 2022.
Featuring some of the best talent from around the world, people who are passionate about filmmaking and their top-tier cinematic-style content, the competition aims to inspire and entertain audiences to take on their next adventure.
‘The Adventure Film Challenge offers a creative platform for filmmakers and adventurers to share their passion for the outdoors not only with their local communities but, through Banff [Centre], with an international audience as well. We believe that we are the enablers of adventure for the whole family, including the armchair adventurer. We want to inspire South Africans to gear up and get out and explore their local backyards,’ says Odile Hufkie, Marketing Manager at Cape Union Mart.
This year, the popular competition once again boasts some amazing prizes, including international exposure for the winner, a R10 000 prize and K-Way gear to the value of R5 000.
