2025 Edition
What if your eyes could change the story? Beyond the grand speeches, there are lives, faces and voices that carry the echoes of our changing world. Stories of urgency, resilience, and sometimes hope in the face of environmental and climatic challenges.
The ePOP contest is your space to give these voices the reach they deserve. We challenge you to become the spokesperson for these human vibrations.
How do you do it? Create the spark with an ePOP film đź’Ą
Imagine: three intense minutes. Pure testimony, captured by your lens, where the spoken word reigns supreme. No tricks, no music, no text on the screen. Just the raw authenticity of an encounter, in horizontal format (16:9). This is the very essence of an ePOP film: a concentrate of humanity that challenges, moves and enlightens.
From June 12 to September 12, 2025, we invite you to reach out, open your eyes, and create that unique bridge between a person and the world.
After the competition, the films are archived on epop.network and made available to all.
Make your film an open window. Join the ePOP community and make reality vibrate.
