International Hourglass Festival (Persian: جشنواره بین المللی ساعت شنی) is an art and media festival dedicated to anti-Israel productions.[2] [3] The first edition of the festival was supposed to be held in April 2018,[4], but was subsequently postponed until July 2108, [5] and then again until December 30th, 2018.[6]
Goals[edit]
Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, assistant to the Speaker of the Iranian parliament, described the festival as a symbol of the “imminent collapse” of Israel, as predicted by Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to occur in less than 25 years.[4] According to Mehdi Ghomi, the executive secretary of the festival, the festival will be a joint work with 2400 NGOs from Europe, North America, Latin America, and Eastern Asia.[7][2]
Fields[edit]
According to the executive secretary of the festival, it will consist of 11 categories[2] and it invites productions from around the world in the form of "posters, cartoons, websites, mobile apps, games, animated graphics and other cyber-related products", all dedicated to the collapse of Israel.[1]
Prizes[edit]
According to Mehdi Ghomi, each category winner will win $1,800, and the overall winner will be awarded $2,700.[1]
