Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) are again inviting the world’s youth to create and submit dynamic and forward thinking videos focusing on the issues of PLURAL+ Youth Video Festival.

Young people – 9 to 25 years of age – across the world are invited to submit short videos of between one to five minutes in length and share their thoughts, experiences, opinions, questions and suggestions about migration, integration, inclusiveness, identity, the human rights of migrant and related issues; highlighting their realities as well as presenting their ideas on how to develop peaceful coexistence in diverse cultural and religious contexts.

The aim of PLURAL + is to ensure youth involvement on migration and diversity issues not just at community level, but also globally by facilitating the voice of youth to be heard around the world through a variety of media platforms and distribution (broadcast, video festivals, conferences, events, Internet, DVD).

A prestigious international jury will select three winners in the three age categories (9-12, 13-17, 18-25), each winner will be flown to New York and honored at an awards ceremony at the Paley Center for Media later in the year. In addition, PLURAL + Partner Organizations will award exciting prizes and professional opportunities such as co-production opportunities, and gaining international exposure by inviting the awardees to present their work at film and video festivals, conferences and events around the world.

Videos should be submitted by 30 June 2010.
