Advertisers and multi-nationals have long known the value of even just one minute of film. With the help of our international Partners we will use your entries as a platform to carry your voices far and wide in a global campaign for the planet rallying public and political support in the lead up to the United Nations Climate Change Conference and continuing until CO2 targets have been met.  To take part all you need to do is creatively respond to the challenge of climate change using film as your medium.

We’re asking you to use whatever means you have to film your short and use your minute to speak up and make the world listen. We hope you will feel inspired to add your creative voice to this unique global climate campaign.

The Competition

This year’s competition looks to be bigger than ever, with our determined shortlist of videos to be screened all over the globe. A short film competition on climate change inviting entrants and viewers from all over the world. The story of climate change will again be told by the people it continues to affect- you. We hope that your shared perspectives and creative responses will help us all understand, adapt and take action in response to a rapidly changing world in time to save it and ourselves.
