VOY video contest 2007

“A World Fit for Children”

Looking for a way to make a difference? Create a one-minute video telling the world what young people think about the world they live in and how they’re making a difference.

In honor of the 5th Anniversary of the Special Session for Children, UNICEF asks youth to look at the four priorities of the session’s adopted agenda “Building a World Fit for Children”: Promoting healthy lives; Providing quality education; Protecting children against abuse, exploitation and violence; Combating HIV/AIDS. How have these goals been achieved in your community? What problems still exist in your communities? What suggestions do you have to fix these issues? What can be done to make the world better for children?

Express, Speak Out, Take Action.

Videos will be reviewed by a global panel of media professionals and displayed on the main UNICEF website. The winning video will be made available for broadcast around the world on The International Children’s Day of Broadcasting, vodcast by UNICEF, featured on the UNICEF and Voices of Youth websites and honored at the PROMAX/BDA Conference in New York.
