OneWorldTV and MTV's Staying Alive Campaign have teamed up once again
to launch this year's HIV/AIDS PSA competition. This is your opportunity
to create a powerful Public Service Announcement (PSA) on the subject
of HIV/AIDS to a wide audience across various platforms.
We are asking you to get creative with your video equipment to produce
a 30-60 second PSA to inform, inspire and motivate particularly young
people on the issue of HIV and AIDS. Public Service Announcements
should provide clear information about the issue whilst simultaneously
captivating the audience and inspiring them to act. You will need to be
creative, well informed and passionate about bringing the issue of
HIV/AIDS to the public's attention in new and engaging ways.
The winning PSA will be showcased on the Staying Alive website and the
OneWorldTV open documentary platform plus there's a very good chance it
will be broadcast on one or more of MTV's television channels. Last
year's winning entry was indeed broadcast on MTV's Asian channels and the
UK's Community Channel, as well as receiving the Staying Alive award.
All eligible video entries received will be showcased on the OneWorldTV
open documentary platform.
Submissions:
The competition is open to anyone aged between 15 – 25 years and can be
created using any preferred language. The aim of this year's
competition is to inform and sensitise young people about the vulnerabilities of
women and girls to HIV/AIDS and to prevent new infections, especially
among women and girls.
The competition commences at 00:00 (GMT) on September 12th 2005 and
ends at 00:00 (GMT) on 1st December 2005.
Submissions must be sent on MiniDV only (preferably PAL) and posted to:
