Q. Is it mandatory to have an architect, urban designer or a social scientist in the team?

No, it’s not required, but we strongly encourage it. Including an architect, urban planner, or social scientist can greatly enrich your project’s narrative and depth. You’re welcome to apply with your existing team, and you’ll have the flexibility to add members later if needed.

Q. Can beginners/film students apply for the competition? Asking this as the form states that one of the participants has to be an experienced filmmaker.

Yes, film students and amateur filmmakers are welcome to apply. If you check the form it mentions “prior filmmaking experience”, we have permitted entries from amateur filmmakers and film students, provided they have some experience in shooting, editing and producing film.

Q. Would we have to pay or spend from our side? If yes, then how much would that be?

Nagari provides a grant of 75,000 to each selected team. The management of costs under or beyond this grant is the responsibility of the team.

Q. How many ideas can one team apply for?

Each team is encouraged to submit only one idea. If you have more than one concept, you may submit them as separate entries.

Q. Is there a suggested or ideal number of collaborators?

It’s ideal to have one primary contact person to streamline communication and logistics. We recommend 2–3 collaborators per team. Additional team members can be brought in as needed throughout the process.
