 The Competition
What On Earth Is Going On? is looking for films to play on MSN's new socially relevant content channel.

Submissions are closed right now but will open again September 1.

Your film should be compelling, exciting, dynamic and challenging. It should enthuse the world to participate in positive social change. It should appeal to a global audience of over 500 million, engage the viewer and provide them with an understanding of the world that you live in. What On Earth wants you to share what's most important to you in your life.

Your film can be any genre at all (live action, documentary, animation....) you simply need to consider the question What On Earth Is Going On?

Our Jury of professional filmmakers will watch these 15 final films to select the two winners.

$10,000 (USD) in production funding will be awarded to each of the two winners participating in A Global Tapestry. A third filmmaker will receive a Special Jury Mention. Two new winners will be chosen to participate in A Global Tapestry every three months.
