Shee na that one be 'Promise'?

Yelz!

Okay. As you know I entered the contest and was one of the final 20.
Pls correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think how good the subject/well made the documentary was mattered the moment a shortlist was made. You, Ijebabe, Villageboi, and a few others are among a few who voted based on what you saw. A lot voted becos they were asked to - "na my friend do am". They all had a chance but some had a way of getting more votes in. I wish the site had a counter or a way to show it was transparent.
The process is simple do your best get short listed... Then campaign hard

You're right. I don't think the competition has anything to do with how good a film is as some of the stuff in the 'top 20' selection was utter rubbish.
