Digital Film Competition - “Why Australia needs Human Rights Protection”
To celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Public Interest Advocacy Centre (PIAC) on behalf of the NSW Charter Group is holding a video competition based on the theme - “Why Australia needs Human Rights Protection”.
The theme reinforces the vision of the Declaration as a commitment to universal dignity and justice, and reinforces how the protection of human rights in Australia is essential to the ongoing vision of the Declaration.
We are looking for videos that reflect the theme of the competition and provide a unique approach to a human rights subject. For some, the video will record a moment where a human right was protected, for others it may be an observation of what human rights means to you as an Australian.
Send in your entries and our judging panel will choose a Winner and Highly Commended entry.
The entries of the winner, runner up and those that are specially commended and short-listed will be accessed through the NSW Charter Group and its members’ websites.
Prizes
The winner will receive an award to the value of $800. The runner-up will receive a prize to the value of $200. The winner, runner-up and those who are specially commended will all receive a certificate of achievement and will be advised by phone and mail by 28 April 2009.
The NSW Charter Group and the Public Interest Advocacy Centre thank the sponsors for providing excellent prizes.
