BCC Launches Video Competition to Showcase Maldivian Creativity Ahead of 2026 Expo

The Business Center Corporation (BCC) has launched a nationwide video competition designed to highlight Maldivian creativity and innovation in anticipation of the Maldives Expo 2026. Announced in conjunction with World Creativity and Innovation Day on April 21, the initiative seeks to provide a platform for local talent to present original ideas and innovative solutions. The competition is divided into two distinct categories: Most Creative Video and Best Video Reel. To enter, participants must upload their content to social media platforms such as TikTok or Instagram, tagging the BCC, Maldives Expo, and the Ministry of Economic Development, Transport and Trade, while using the official hashtag #mauraz26. For those entering the short film category, submissions must be between three and five minutes in length. Once uploaded to a personal account, the video link must be emailed to the BCC for official consideration. The deadline for all submissions and uploads is the 31st of next month. High-value prizes await the winners to encourage professional-grade storytelling. The winner of the best overall video will receive a DJI Flip Fly More Combo and an Osmo Pocket 3 Creator Combo, while the winner of the best video reel category will be awarded an iPhone 17 Pro Max. BCC has stipulated strict eligibility and content guidelines to ensure the competition remains inclusive and professional. The contest is open exclusively to Maldivian citizens. All submissions must be original works, as copies or reposted content will lead to immediate disqualification. Furthermore, the corporation emphasized that all content must be suitable for all age groups and adhere to general social standards. To maintain a focus on creativity and innovation, BCC has prohibited the inclusion of political views, ideologies, or any material that could damage the reputation or dignity of any individual. Each entry is expected to present a clear, impactful idea or solution that is easily accessible to a general audience.
