BeStillMedia March-April 2022 Contest: Be Still Media is a nonprofit organization that was created during the lockdown, to incentivize content for creatives and culture through bi-monthly competitions throughout the calendar year.

Short description

Be Still Media Contest mission is to champion creators of media and arts for works that search the mind and spark the imagination, inviting us to understand what we value and how that affects the way we live.

We will promote incentive competitions that draw on ideas of character and the meaning of life.
