The Competition
Film Your Issue
The United Nations Department of Public Information (DPI) has partnered with Film Your Issue to increase awareness of global issues among future film makers and is recommending several topics of immediate concern to young people and to the global community.
The competition encourages students (15–24 years of age) to create 30–120 second films on issues that have an impact on their lives or that they are passionate about.
Special Awards
The United Nations Department of Public Information will present two special awards to winners of the best film in the category — UN Global themes — and the best film on human rights.
The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) will present a third special award for the best film on intellectual property.
