In order to win a share of £8,000 applicants must do their utmost to capture what it means to be emotionally connected to people with Be Momentful.
Social distancing has meant it’s never been as important to show people that you are thinking about them and send love and support.
Be Momentful has seen the downloads and usage of their moment sharing app skyrocket since the coronavirus swept across the world.
The competition is a way of rewarding users, and applicants don’t have to be professionals to enter.

The beauty of this film competition is in its simplicity. Applicants are being tasked with showing what it means to send and receive a moment from the Be Momentful app, and can use any medium.
1616 media boss Tim Bleszynski, which owns Be Momentful, explained why they came up with the competition.
“The beauty of today’s smartphone driven world is that anyone can make a film with ease and upload it and share online,” he said.
“Every day we see filmed moments, animations with toys and drawings. Our society is driven by people-filmed content.
