Global Foundation for Democracy and Development (GFDD) will recognize the production and distribution of films on climate change and sustainable development topics with the Globo Verde Dominicano Award 2014. This contest is an essential part of the Dominican Republic Environmental Film Festival (DREFF) to be celebrated September 10-14, 2014; the winners will be announced on Saturday, September 13th, 2014.

The 2014 edition of Globo Verde Dominicano Award provides an unprecedented platform for filmmakers, students and young professionals who wish to get involved in a still little-explored area in the Dominican Republic.
