PLURAL+ Youth Video Festival DEADLINE: 27 JUNE 2014 OVERVIEW: The United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) again 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. AWARDS: 3 videos will receive $1,000 and the makers will be invited to New York City to attend PLURAL+ 2014 Awards Ceremony. Many PLURAL+ partners will also distribute awards.

However the videos must reflect the youth’s opinions or reflections about migration, diversity and social inclusion. • Multiple youth may work together to make one video, as long as all members of the group are between the ages of 9-25. • Other people involved in the making of the video (e.g. educators, teachers, instructors, etc.) might be over 25 as long as their creative role is minimal (group coordination, technical support, renting equipment, etc.) • If multiple youth work together on one video then the video will be judged in the age category of the eldest youth. • Immediate family members (siblings, children and grandchildren) of jurors for the PLURAL+ Video Festival are not eligible to enter the Video Festival.
