The National Film Board of Canada (NFB) and Media Development Authority of Singapore (MDA) issued a call for proposals from Singapore producers for the Cross-Media Challenge Singapore.

The Cross-Media Challenge — Singapore is a co-production competition open to all Singapore production companies to develop innovative, interactive and globally engaging factual content that harnesses new technologies such as mobile and broadband. This initiative follows the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the NFB and MDA last year to encourage co-productions in film and new media between Canada and Singapore.

The production company with the winning project will be awarded with a S$15,000 co-production development deal with NFB. Entry closes at February 1, 2008. Three semifinalists will be announced on March 3, 2008. The winning project will be announced at a NFB-MDA event at Marche International des Programmes de Television (MIPTV) taking place April 7 – 11, 2008, in Cannes, France. Eligibility is only extended to applicants who are able to attend the event.

Submission details are as follows:

Submitted proposals must be in English and should be a maximum of 2 pages, providing a succinct overview of your project, a development plan and development budget summary along with any supporting audiovisual material.
