MTN One TV has launched a search for bold, authentic and commercially compelling African stories, inviting producers from across the continent to pitch film and television projects for development and distribution. Announced in September 2026, it runs through partner industry events — MTN One TV is a sponsor at Durban FilmMart and MIP Africa / FAME Week Africa — so you pitch through those conferences own application processes rather than a direct MTN form. The value is not disclosed. This is a pitch and commissioning pathway, not a grant; confirm the next events pitch window before preparing a submission.
Saving keeps this on your shortlist. It isn’t a funding application.
