PLURAL+ Youth Video Festival Awards

"The insight and creativity with which young people have produced videos on tough issues, such as racism, human trafficking and social marginalization, reflect the ingenuity youth bring to addressing today's most pressing social problems."

Recognising youth as powerful agents of social change in a world often characterised by intolerance and cultural and religious divisions, PLURAL+ invites youth to address key challenges and opportunities related to social inclusion and cohesion, migrant integration, respect for identity, diversity, and human rights - at both local and global levels.

The United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) are extending this call to young people up to 25 years old, inviting them to submit original and creative videos of 5 minutes maximum in length that are focused on PLURAL+ themes: migration, diversity, and social inclusion.

An international jury will select 3 winners in each age category (9-12, 13-17, 18-25). International Jury winners will be invited to New York, NY (United States), all travel expenses paid, to present their work. PLURAL+ partner organisations will also award other prizes and professional opportunities, such as winning participants presenting their work at film and video festivals, conferences, and events around the world.
