The main Award Ceremony, co-hosted by Green Me Global Film Festival and the German Embassy,

Schools across Nigeria engaging in friendly creative competition to
produce a body of work, in the form of a Short Film, Music Video or
Documentary aimed at reflecting responsibility for the wellness of our
environment; and PEFTI’s project “Econemy” was judged the winner.
According to PEFTI Managing Director, Abiola Adenuga,
“The Green Me Festival was a lot of fun
and we appreciate the opportunity we had in sharing ideas with
participants from all over Nigeria and Germany. We are also excited at
the worldwide exposure which our film would receive, including the
prestigious Cannes Film Festival in France. Most of all, we are glad
that our film, Econemy, while receiving all this exposure, would
increase awareness about our responsibility for the environment.”
