The Adventure Film Challenge is an annual competition that embraces the outdoor adventures South Africa has to offer.
The challenge features some of the best talents from around the world; people who are passionate about filmmaking and their top-tier cinematic-style content.
“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, with an international audience as well,’’ says Odile Hufkie, Marketing Manager at Cape Union Mart.
‘’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.”
I’m sure you’re thinking about the prizes … the competition consists of amazing prizes; exposure for the winner; a R10 000 prize and K-Way gear to the value of R5 000.
“We have a beautiful landscape. We see this as an opportunity to showcase our country to the world and provide entrants with recognition in the industry, which may lead to bigger opportunities for them, through exposure on our global platform,” says Odile Hufkie.
