Vlogit - Competition on HIV/AIDS for Young People

Calling all young people aged 16 - 25 years old!

• Think you’ve got what it takes to reveal your thoughts and experiences of HIV and AIDS on camera? 
• Have you got a story that will educate and help raise awareness? 
• Maybe you have never been affected by HIV and AIDS but still have strong opinions on safe sex, discrimination and empowerment?

Either way, we’d like to hear from you. You could walk away with a brand new video camera and appear in Staying Alive's online and on-air program Vlogit.

To enter the competition, you should submit a 250 word narrative of your proposed vlog online detailing your thoughts and experiences of HIV and AIDS. Please use as much description and "colour" as possible. Applications will be judged based on creativity, originality and educational value.

The 25 best applicants will win a video camera to record their concept (a diary entry to camera) which will then be packaged and uploaded to the Staying Alive site and broadcast around the world on MTV channels for World AIDS Day 2007 and on web-sharing sites such as YouTube and MySpace. Winners can keep the recording equipment and possibly work with UNICEF and MTV on future projects.

The deadline for submissions is 31 December 2006. To find out how to take part – and for an online application form visit: The Vlogit micro site

Vlogit is a partnership between UNICEF and MTV's Staying Alive in support of "Unite for Children, Unite against AIDS".
