Italy – "PLEASE LOOK FORWARD": a competition for young Ecoreporters

13 March 2024

(ANS – Rome) – The Salesian Central Italy Circumscription (ICC), through its Integral Ecology team, and the Cinecircoli Giovanili Socioculturali APS (CGS) association intend to launch a challenge to young people, entitled "Please look forward". The proposal will serve to raise awareness among teenagers and young adults aged 15 to 30 on the issues of integral ecology, through designing and creating audiovisual products. "Salesians for Social APS" and the Salesian VIS - International Volunteering for Development NGO will also collaborate in the initiative.

The goal of the challenge is the design and implementation of reports of a maximum duration of 3 minutes that highlight an ecological problem regarding the following areas: waste in general, water, food, transport, plastic, clothing or smartphone, using only a smartphone for filming.

Participation in the competition is free of charge. To offer some useful tips to video creators, a video-lesson kindly created by Teresa Paoli, journalist and director. Since 2017 she has been correspondent of PresaDiretta, the in-depth Riccardo Iacona programme  broadcast on RAI 3. Participants in the competition will be able to submit their videos from 18 March 2024 until 4 May 2024.

Starting on Monday, 6 May, the videos received will be published on the YouTube channel of the Cinecircoli Giovanili Socioculturali association and will be voted on by the public.

Voting will be open until 24 May 2024. The first prize, which will be awarded to the most significant story, will go to the video that has reached the highest number of online votes (50% of the score) and that has received the highest number of votes from the jury (50% of the score). The winner will receive a €500 voucher for audio-video equipment, as well as the opportunity to participate in a Film Festival with the CGS Association. The second prize, for the best photograph, will be awarded by the jury and will receive a €200 voucher.
