Faith Counts Film Contest (Win $20,000) 2022

How does your faith help you maintain the hope needed to meet and overcome the challenges of our time, and what is your message to encourage others? Hope is the earnest anticipation that comes with believing something good the confident expectation that naturally stems from faith.

So pull out your phone, grab your camera gear, tap record, and show in 2 minutes or less how the hope of faith is changing lives, relationships, and communities around you for the better.

It is believed that faith is more than a tradition or a group of sayings that inspire for a moment and then leave you empty. Faith is a living, breathing, life-lifting, incredible thing vital to today’s culture in its many forms. The fruits of faith are still fresh today. But without hope, there is no true faith.

So tell a story of hope that makes us laugh, brings us to tears, inspires, entertains, or all of the above. Let your imagination run wild and your camera follow. You don’t have to be the next Spielberg to play you just need a phone and an idea.
