Once the 15 Sub-Region Finalists have been identified, 30 minute Zoom (or similar) interviews will be scheduled and conducted with each of them. Based on the combined interview and Submission scoring of the Fujifilm Europe / Middle East / Africa Region judges (applying the same scoring criteria as outlined above), a total of five (5) Fujifilm Europe / Middle East / Africa Region finalists for the Global Grant Award will be identified (the “Europe/Middle East/Africa Region Global Grant Finalists”).
