"Volunteering Video Competition for Young People" - Call for Entries

Submissions close on Sunday 22 July 2012

The Australian Governments National Volunteering Strategy identified that the rate of youth volunteering is below the national average and needs to be better supported and encouraged. To increase volunteering participation amongst young people, the Australian Government is launching an online video competition.

The Volunteering Video Competition for Young People invites young Australians to create a video that will promote ways for young people to be involved in their community and capture the enjoyment, fun and social interaction that volunteering brings.

The competition is open until 5pm AEST Sunday 22 July 2012.

The theme for the competition is Your Passion, Our Nation.  Volunteer Now!

Entrants to the competition will be divided into two age groups:

i. Category A Aged 15 to under 18 years; and
ii. Category B Aged 18 to under 25 years.

Entrants are required to submit a 30 to 60 second audiovisual advertisement to promote volunteering to young people. Submissions received will be published online.
