iChange video competition

In partnership with TVN Media Group, C4C has just launched iChange: a  new global competition for the best 30 second video ad about climate  change.

The iChange competition challenges students from all over the world to create a powerful message about climate change and potential solutions through an original 30-second video ad. The video can tell a story to
raise awareness about climate change, encourage action, and/or propose potential solutions.

The competition is open to individuals and teams (of up to 5 persons, ages 18-35) currently enrolled in a university program. Winners will be awarded in Milan at the International GrandPrix Advertising Strategies
event in late May, 2013. The winning ad will be shown at film festivals in Cannes, New York, and Beijing. The 5 finalists will each receive a 2,000 Euros scholarship and will be invited to travel to Milan to attend
the GrandPrix. The final winner will receive an additional scholarship from TVN Media Group of 3,000 Euros (for a total of 5,000 Euros), and the winning ad will become an official C4C video. The deadline for
submissions is May 1, 2013 11.59pm EST.

If you believe the iChange competition would be of interest to your students, we would be thrilled if you encouraged them to participate in this effort to amplify youth voices on climate change.
