IOM Nigeria Short Film Contest – Combating Trafficking in Persons (3rd Edition)

The IOM Nigeria Short Film Contest – Combating Trafficking in Persons (3rd Edition) is a dynamic, creativity-powered advocacy initiative led by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Nigeria, in partnership with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). This edition builds upon the success of the 2023 and 2024 contests to harness the storytelling potential of Nigerian youth—resident citizens, refugees, asylum seekers, and stateless persons—to shed light on human trafficking’s root causes, prevalence, and consequences in Nigeria.

Films must be original short works produced from 1 January 2022 onwards, offering various creative formats such as drama, documentary, animation, music video, or experimental styles. The contest aims to deepen public consciousness around the multifaceted dimensions of trafficking, including forced labour, child exploitation, sex trafficking, modern slavery, online grooming, and refugee vulnerability. Each submission, with a maximum duration of 20 minutes including credits, must be filmed or edited by the entrant—they must hold an active creative role and secure informed consent from participants featured on camera to ensure ethical storytelling practices.
