IMVAF 2020’s Music Video official language is English, Bahasa Melayu and Mandarin (with English or Mandarin subtitles when necessary).
Excella Chong said, “As a Malaysian of Chinese origin, I have cherished the fact that the diaspora Chinese in Malaysia have evolved peacefully amongst the diverse society that we find ourselves in.
Chinese culture has merged so well into the Malaysian society that we do not find ourselves different in any way whatsoever.
To highlight our diplomatic relationship with China over the years, a music video was produced and shown at a recent commemoration dinner held in Kuala Lumpur. The music video captured the essence of our friendship over the years, that we stood for peace, love and harmony despite our many differences. We certainly felt it would be a good start to show the region and the world that our relationship has promoted positive change through positive values that both our countries share.”
Music Video entries for IMVAF 2020 must revolve around the theme of Peace in the world and focus either on the relationship between Malaysia and China (in terms of history, culture, social, economy and many other subjects that enhances the “bilateral” relationship between the countries); or create awareness for Social Causes (such as child abduction, sexual exploitation, modern day slavery, forced marriages and etc.); or promote other Positive Moral Values (such as filial piety, patriotism, ecocentrism and many other).
As global change requires voices from every level, the IMVAF 2020 platform is also dedicated to making sure everyone has a voice.
On saying that, the content entries for IMVAF 2020 will range across 3 categories, which are Youth & Students Category, Open Category – Hobbyist & The International Music Video Awards Festival 2020 Semi-professionals and Professional Corporate Category.
The Youth & Students Category is dedicated to young minds and students who dream of creating their own Music Video to share their voice for a cause. They will be judged less on their production capabilities but more on their creativity, honesty and authenticity delivered in their music and videos.
