Stories in Storeys contest in search for short films about DMCI Homes living

DMCI Homes, for the first time, is calling on homeowners and residents to capture their treasured moments in a resort-inspired community on the reel. The Stories in Storeys short film contest is calling for 30-second films that show the best things about having a DMCI Homes development for a home.

The video entries will be judged based on creativity, the quality, feel-good-message, and audience appeal and impact of the video.

The short film contest, which runs from August 15 to November 15, 2015, will have a monthly winner to be awarded with a voucher that will waive P5,000 worth of association dues.

Stories in Stories will all boil down to the Grand Finals round where the monthly winners will compete for the grand cash prize of P15,000 pesos. A Facebook Choice Award also awaits the video that obtains the highest number of Likes on the DMCI Homes official Facebook page.
