48 GO GREEN is the Ultimate Ecological International short Film Contest. You select your Eco theme, decide your film's genre, and give you 3 required elements to include in your movie: a character, a line, and a prop. You create a short film, 3 - 9 min long, in English, or with English subtitles, all within 48 hours. You upload it to 48gogreen.com

Please choose your preferred eco theme from the list, decide your movie's genre, shoot your film using the given three required elements, but you do it all in 48 hours.

Register your team. Organize your actors, collect your equipment and secure your locations. When you are ready and have decided to compete, log in to your profile page. Push the "START MY COMPETITION" button. Select your eco theme, and push the "START NOW" button. Our system automatically assigns you three required elements: a character, a line and a prop. Officially your 48 hours countdown has started.

Each year, the competition entry period runs from February 5 until October 31.

This is your choice! It starts whenever you are ready, but remember, once you push the "START MY COMPETITION" button, your 48 hours are counting down!

You can create your team whenever you are ready. It's up to you, but we recommend organizing your team before pushing the "START MY COMPETITION" button. As soon as you push it, the clock is ticking!

Professional or amateur, everyone is eligible to enter except relatives, employees and associates of The VITSIA Entertainment Group Inc. To be a team leader, you must be eighteen years old. You may participate if you are under eighteen, but your parents must sign a consent form. See Rule 1 of The Rules.

Anybody can enter the competition, but you could take out Basic Membership. Basic Membership is FREE.

The 3 elements are: a character, a line of dialogue, and a prop. The character must appear in the film for at least in a scene. The dialogue sequence can be spoken or sung, written, or any way your imagination chooses to present it. But it must be verbatim precisely as written. The prop must be visible in at least one scene or as many times you prefer in the film.

When you are ready to compete, the system assigns them as soon as you push the "START MY COMPETITION" button.

NO! That is considered cheating! It is also challenging because the 3 elements are randomly selected. Be warned; you will be eliminated from the competition if you are caught cheating. But you are welcome to submit your up to 30 min movie to our 48ISFF Eco Film Fest.
