Roll out the red carpet – it’s time for the Moscars, the annual video awards extravaganza celebrating Mo Bros and Mo Sistas’ creativity with a camera. Fancy yourself as a budding Scorsese or an aspiring Spielberg? Well then get your ideas down and your script together because the Movember 2012 Moscars categories are:
Movember & Sons – showcasing our 2012 theme, this can mean highlighting a transfer of knowledge down from father to son, or knowledge transfer up from son to father, the family business, being a change agent or a moustache merchant – rock it out or act it out.
Your Movember Journey – feature what Movember means to you, combine the fun and the serious sides of the movement through music, comedy or drama.
Each category was awarded a first, second and third prize. The Moscars have closed and the winners for each category have been announced.
