Call for Submissions: The World Bank's Film Contest on Climate Change

The World Bank's Social Development Department would like to announce the launch of a world-wide documentary competition, "Vulnerability Exposed: Social Dimensions of Climate Change".  Submissions of "2-5 minute documentaries which creatively showcase the social implications of climate change in the areas of conflict, migration, urban space, rural institutions, drylands, social policy, indigenous peoples, gender, governance, forests and/or human rights"; are welcome.

WIN A TRIP TO WASHINGTON, D.C.
There are two award categories: 1) Social Dimensions of Climate Change Award (general category) and 2) Young Voices of Climate Change Award (youth category). The general category is open to everyone; the youth category is open to entries submitted by filmmakers who are under 24 years old. Award winners will be chosen through a combination of public voting and a judging panel.

The award winners will be invited to Washington, DC for a screening of their film and to attend a series of networking and learning events organized by the Social Development Department, World Bank. The tentative schedule of events to be organized for the award winners includes: awards ceremony, film showcase event, cocktail reception, career development workshop, and seminar series on the Social Dimensions of Climate Change.
