Announcing a Call for Entries for the 4th Annual Migraine Moment Short Film Contest
Video is one of the most compelling, and effective ways to tell a story—and we know that you have a story to tell. For the last four years, the American Migraine Foundation and American Headache Society have hosted a short film contest to give those living with migraine a mechanism to share with the world the way that this neurological disease impacts their lives.
Without further ado, we are pleased to announce that the 4th Annual Migraine Moment Short Film Contest is now open for submissions!
Year after year our contest draws a moving and impressive range of personal experiences on those living with migraine and other disorders that cause severe headache pain. This year, we invite you to submit a short narrative film or documentary that illustrates your journey. For inspiration, please view the winning entry from our 3rd Annual Migraine Moment Film Contest.
The winner will receive $2,500 and travel/hotel to present their project at the American Headache Society’s 61st Annual Scientific Meeting in Philadelphia, PA.
