Are you a video producer in the region looking for the right platform to showcase your creations? Dubai Studio City (DSC), a support hub for media and broadcasting companies, in association with regional entrepreneurship enabler in5 has launched a video competition for the region's creatives. DSC invites content creators to showcase their production talents through videos that cover a wide range of categories such as music, drama, gaming, animation, reviews, vlogging, and more.

The contest intends to be an opportunity for local content creators to promote their projects and attract a wider viewership for their original works.

Commenting on the challenge, Majed Al Suwaidi, MD, Dubai Studio City, said in a statement, "The MENA region boasts one of the largest video audiences worldwide.
