WORLD SOCIAL HEROES PRIZE (WORSHEP)

Dear Filmmakers,

Are you a filmmaker who dedicate your life for humanity?

The festival is waiting for your excellent film and documentaries.

Some people said leaders are born. Social heroes are made and shaped with our living condition while interacting with others. They can be simple men or women, but having great hearts. People who have compassion towards others in need; who cry with others who cry and make them smile again; people who have strong yet tender hearts to stand up for others screaming for help.

World Social Heroes Prize (WORSHEP) is conducted under the large wings of International Film Festivals Group, who was established to help the United Nations to promote its international days and to make a better world. WORSHEP works together with a group of movement, the Council of Creative People (Dewan Kreatif Rakyat) and the International I–Hebat Volunteers in giving recognition to anyone who has inspired the world and make it a better one to live.

WORSHEP mission is to promote films/documentaries and people who work hard and dedicate their lives for the benefit of humanity. The winning films and the people profile will become our showcase based on their CVs and the board of jury’s decision.
