Call for Videos: PLURAL+ Youth Video Festival 2024: (Deadline: 31 May, 2024)
Applications are open for the PLURAL+ Youth Video Festival 2024. PLURAL+ is a youth video festival that encourages and empowers global youth to explore the issues of migration, diversity, social inclusion, and the prevention of xenophobia and to share their creative vision with the world.
The PLURAL+ Youth Video Festival is a joint initiative of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) that invites the world’s youth to submit original and creative videos focusing on the themes of migration, diversity and social inclusion. By supporting the distribution of youth-produced media, PLURAL+ recognizes youth as powerful agents of positive social change in a world often characterized by intolerance, and cultural and religious divisions.
Benefits
- Recipients of the International Jury Distinctions and Special Recognitions are invited to the location of the PLURAL+ Ceremony, all expenses paid. (While the venue may occasionally change, most of the past Ceremonies have been hosted in New York.)
- The invitation covers the travel and accommodation expenses of 1 person per video only. If you submit a video as a group, only 1 person will be invited to receive the recognition on behalf of the entire group and therefore only 1 person will be covered to travel. Other members of the group are welcome to attend the Ceremony at their own expense. In the case of participants under the age of 18, the invitation will also cover the travel and accommodation costs of an adult chaperone (parent or legal guardian).
- PLURAL+ recipients of Partner Recognitions are invited to attend the ceremony at their own expense.
- The ceremony is attended every year by a diverse, global audience (United Nations employees, media professionals, representatives of civil society organizations, academics, etc.). PLURAL+ recipients gain international exposure and the opportunity to connect and network with a multitude of professionals, peers, and organizations and to explore opportunities for further distribution and dissemination of their work. Partner recognitions vary according to the Partner organization.
- Filmmakers who receive recognition through any of the PLURAL+ distinctions, as well as those recognized by PLURAL+ Partners, will receive digital certificates. Shortlisted videos that did not receive any distinctions will also be granted a digital certificate of participation.
Eligibility
- Open to young people of all nationalities with a keen interest in the cross-cutting issues of migration, diversity, social inclusion, and the prevention of xenophobia.
- Entrants to PLURAL+ must be 25 years old or less at the time of the production of their videos.
- PLURAL+ is organized into three age categories:
- up to 12 years old
- 13 to 17 years old and
- 18 to 25 years old.
- While the people appearing in the video do not have to be young, it is important that the video reflects the thoughts and opinions of the young filmmaker(s) about migration, diversity, social inclusion, and xenophobia. The person submitting the video (“the entrant”) must be actively involved in its making; e.g. either as a director, writer, camera person, editor, actor, coordinator, etc.
- Immediate family members of staff members of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC), the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and members of the PLURAL+ International Jury are not eligible to enter the competition.
Application
Submissions must be completed by 31 May 2024, 5:00pm Eastern Daylight Time (EDT/ New York time). The PLURAL+ team will automatically disqualify any video entries received after the deadline.
