Call for Videos: PLURAL+ Youth Video Festival 2024 by UNAOC & IOM: Submit by May 31

Submissions of entries are invited from young people of all nationalities for the 16th Edition of PLURAL+ Youth Video Festival 2024 by UNAOC and IOM by May 31, 2024.

PLURAL+ is a joint initiative of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM), with a network of more than 50 partner organizations around the globe.

PLURAL+ invites young people up to 25 years old to submit original and creative short films focusing on the themes of migration, diversity, social inclusion, and the prevention of xenophobia. PLURAL+ recognizes young people as powerful agents of social change, and video entries should, therefore, serve as an instrument for them to express their thoughts and opinions on one or several of its main themes.

PLURAL+ video entries can be of any genre (animation, documentary, music video, comedy, etc.) as long as they have the potential to make the audience think in constructive ways about the cross-cutting social issues pertaining to the themes of PLURAL+, ranging from, but not limited to, peace and human rights, to racism and discrimination. To get a better idea, interested candidates should browse past PLURAL+ winning videos here.

PLURAL+ 2024 International Jury Distinctions will be presented in three videos for the three age categories (12 years old and under; 13 to 17 years old; and 18 to 25 years old). These videos will be selected by a panel of renowned Jury members and experts in their field.

Additionally, UNAOC and IOM will confer two Special Recognitions this year:

Selected films will be showcased at the PLURAL+24 Annual Ceremony, which is scheduled for Autumn 2024 in Lisbon, Portugal, and will be broadcast live through UN Web TV and live-streamed on the PLURAL+ website. During the Ceremony, young filmmakers will have an opportunity to present their work to a global audience.

Interested candidates can submit their videos via this link.

The last date of submission is May 31, 2024.
