Global Youth Video/Photo Contest by UNESCO

If I were… Global Youth Video/Photo Contest

What would your life be like if you were somebody else? Have you ever imagined stepping into someone else’s shoes? What if that person was living next door? How would you feel? How would you react to a given situation?

Through this contest, you can choose who you would like to be: you can choose to be anyone from your prime minister to your next door baker, and this only with a simple camera.

“If I were…” invites you to experiment with somebody else’s life through a video (1 minute maximum) or a powerful photo made by yourself to illustrate your feelings if you were this person. Change your perspective and express yourself differently. A life-experience that you will never forget! Submission deadline : 12 March 2017.
 
The 10 winners will get:    

• 1 mini iPad
• 1 invitation to the “Second International Conference on Youth volunteering and dialogue: Preventing violent extremism and strengthening social inclusion” at UNESCO, in Paris, 12-14 April 2017 (travel and accommodation paid by UNESCO)
• An international recognition and exposure of your work on UNESCO’s website

Win the contest and receive your award on stage during the exceptional prize-giving ceremony of the Conference.
