What to do if you don’t have a camera? If you have a brilliant idea for a dramatic video on Climate Change – or a documentary subject on your doorstep that is just begging to be filmed, don’t let the chance to film it slip you by. FIRST – try to borrow a camera from a neighbour, or even your local UN office, or the office of a local aid agency: tell them what you want to do, and see if you cannot get them to help you. Then, when you have filmed your material, send us the tape, along with a script, or explanation of how you want it edited, and we will edit the material for you – if we feel that it is of sufficient quality to make a worthwhile contribution to this project. If you cannot find any one to lend you a camera, then we welcome submissions of Documentary and/or Drama scripts. You should submit each script separately as an e-mail of no more than 500-words in length. If possible attach some digital photographs – showing where and/or what it is you want to film. If it is in a language other than English, please provide a summary translation. Send your script to media@peacechild.org to reach us by Friday May 30th. Each submission will get an acknowledgement and, by June 4th, an indication of whether or not you are one of the five lucky winners. You will then be sent a video camera and some tapes. You are required to film your video and send the tapes to in the pre-paid envelope provided by June 30th. You may keep the camera for future use.
