‌The OECD Global Youth Video Competition 2013 (Prize- All expense paid trip to Paris, France to attend the OECD Forum)

Application Deadline: April 2nd 2013

The Challenge

Make a short video (no more than 3 minutes) responding the following questions: Think differently: how would you shape tomorrow’s global economy? What are the key issues that you think must be factored into building a more inclusive world?

The Prize
An all expenses-paid trip to Paris, France to attend the OECD Forum on 28-29 May 2013. The Prize will be awarded to three winning videos selectd by our Jury. If a winning video is a group effort, then a nominated representative will be invited to Paris.

Theme
The worst financial, economic and social crisis of our lifetime led to widespread condemnation of “business as usual” and calls to revisit, rethink, and test new approaches to economic and societal challenges. We need to rethink the kind of society we want and reexamine the economic models and other tools we use to create it. If you’re between 18-25, make a three-minute video laying out your vision on future economic models and how would you shape tomorrow’s global economy. The winners will gain a trip to Paris during OECD Week in May 2013.
