REALLY pleased to share that we successfully held the prize-giving ceremony for the IREP–Ecobank Smartphone Filmmaking Competition today. Over 130 participants joined the workshop, with eligible attendees (aged 18–25) going on to create and submit 60–90 second films shot and edited entirely on smartphones. Entries were judged on creativity, technical quality, engagement, and storytelling, with a focus on Ecobank as a pan-African institution.
