This competition focuses on short-form documentary stories that have been reported with smartphones and other small recording devices like action cams, drones and pocket cameras.
Journalists who can produce films that can produce compelling non-fiction stories with a cinematic quality are a rare breed.
This competition showcases the best stories and mobile storytellers each year with international film screenings and recognition at international festivals and Mojo Workshops.
The best films from this competition are curated in a permanent collection at the Smart Film School. This allows scholars from all walks of life to review the collective body of documentary film work as it matures over time.
Mobile Journalism filmmakers whose films have been selected will be screened at live event(s) and journalism festivals.
Each journalist who has a film selected in the #MojoAwards festival at www.Mojo.Show will be awarded $500 gift certificates from the Smart Film School.
