Brief:

Nespresso seeks to empower people who think differently, who are prepared to go further, push boundaries and demonstrate creativity in everything they do. For this reason, Nespresso has always supported and created platforms that recognize outstanding creativity, talent and storytelling. Every story is worth telling. So why not tell yours? Your story can take place in your home, in your neighborhood, or in your classroom. It can feature your friends, family or complete strangers. It can be a documentary about the real world, or a fictional world of your own creation.

The only rule? It must be shot in 9:16. In this mobile-first world, more people are watching vertical video, so challenge yourself with this new format and see what you can create.

Theme: “The Difference She Makes”

This is for the women who make a difference. The women whose achievements, no matter how big or small, have made the world a better place. This is a celebration of the women who improve the lives of those around them. Women who, in their own unique way, create something important, something better. Women who spark change instantly and women who create transformation over a lifetime. This contest highlights the stories of all women, the ordinary, the extraordinary and the billions that are both. Tell their stories. Join us in recognizing their achievements, their talents and their vision. Shine a light on the changes they’ve made, however big or small.
