To build a brilliant sport career is a dream of any teenager who begins to practise any kind of sport. Shining medals, admiring looks of fellows and prosperity gained by hard work and self-sacrifice is the real life of a professional sportsman.

In our complicated lifetime period when there are almost no workshops and extra classes and parents cannot afford a moderate payment for such activities let alone purchase of sportswear, sports equipment and expenses on external competitions, for modern society the question of physical education of growing generation becomes more vital.

In addition, as an alternative to outdoor games, which often lead to big sport, many children prefer computer battles and internet chats. Doctors and teachers have been beating an alarm for a long time but so far it is not possible to radically change the situation.

Saby Charitable Foundation by means of the unique Alem Young Talents Support Program opens doors to those children who indeed want to seriously go in for sports and make it their profession and part of life. In order a candidate for participation in the Program will be considered by the Selection Board, which includes also titled sportsmen, a resume must be forwarded. The most promising children will definitely get support. We are waiting for you, future champions!

This year Saby Charity Foundation for the second time becomes a partner of the ASTANA International Action Film Festival which was inspired by the well-known director and producer Timur Bekmambetov.

The main difference from the last-year event is that besides the Script Contest the organizers introduced the additional contest of short films where apart from our compatriots, participants from the whole world will be able to take part.

All applications should be forwarded through the website of the Festival, where works will be examined by the competent panel of judges composed of maîtres of world cinema, and the best shorts will be determined by internet voting.

We remind you that both professionals and amateurs are welcome to take part as the key point is to strive for success. Last year the winner among 150 script writers was the Almaty economist Bakhtiyor Kadyrov, for whom it was the first creative work in his life. If you also want to repeat the stunning success of the ordinary Kazakh guy, you should carefully read the Contest terms, register and submit your application on the following link.

The deadline for the submission of applications for the Script Contest is May 01, 2012, for the Short Film Contest – May 15, 2012.

The crucial point is that works and applications must be submitted only in English.
