Description:
The United
Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) and the International Organization
for Migration (IOM) invite the world’s youth to submit original and creative
videos focusing on PLURAL+ themes: migration, diversity and social inclusion.
Recognizing
youth as powerful agents of social change in a world often characterized by
intolerance, and cultural and religious divisions, PLURAL+ invites youth to
address key challenges related to migrant integration, inclusiveness, identity,
diversity, human rights and social cohesiveness, both at local and global
levels. Young people up to 25 years old
are invited to submit short videos of five minutes maximum in length.
A
prestigious international jury will select three winners in each age categories
(9-12, 13-17, and 18-25). All the winners will be invited to New York, all
travel expenses paid, to present their work at the PLURAL+ 2013 Awards Ceremony
at the Paley Center for Media in December 2013. Furthermore, winners will be
distinguished by PLURAL+ partner awards.

- Videos must pertain to the topics of migration, diversity, social inclusion, and related topics.
- Reflecting on these topics, videos should show the youth’s thoughts, experiences, opinions, questions and suggestions.
- Videos may be of whatever type, style or genre that the entrant wishes – animated, documentary, drama, music video, comedy etc.
- Videos should reflect the aims of the PLURAL+ Video Festival, which are:
- To recognize youth as agents of social change in a world often characterized by intolerance, and cultural and religious divisions.
