UNESCO’s East Asia office and its partners have invited creators worldwide to submit short films about how communities keep cultural heritage alive. The November 9 announcement set January 15, 2027, as the deadline for the third edition of the campaign. Individuals and organisations can enter. [evidence-1]

Films must run for one to five minutes and include English subtitles. The organisers require original work and ask entrants to secure any necessary permissions for material they use. [evidence-1]

One of the campaign’s tracks focuses on how digital tools can help document and preserve heritage. Entrants who use generative AI must disclose it and distinguish documented details from creative interpretation. [evidence-1]
