My View is a climate change video competition.

You make a 1 to 5 minute digital film about climate change in Asia & the Pacific, and we’ll get the world to watch it.

Your film can be in any digital video format – you can even use your mobile phone. We accept films in any genre, including but not limited to animation, documentary, drama, experimental, art, testimonial, etc.

Videos can be in any language, though contestants are strongly encouraged to include subtitles and a full length script in English, in order to facilitate public outreach and the contest process.

Spring into action and make your own change!
