Deadline: 28-Feb-22
The UN Women is inviting applications from eligible applicants for its “From Passion to Profit Video Challenge” which aims to showcase the powerful work of young women and young men mitigating the escalating climatic and environmental crises in the region while promoting gender equality.
It will recognize up to 10 African youth voices from across the continent who are creating and advocating for effective, lasting, and transformative charges and amplifying the interdependency of gender and the environment in building a more sustainable future for all.
The 10 best 2-minute videos will be played during an event on 8 March, during International Women’s Day, and promoted on social media channels of all organizers.
Technical Tips
Technical tips to make your video more likely to be picked:
- Find a quiet place to record – outside is fine if there is no traffic, construction, or wind noise.
- Check to ensure your device is recording at 1920×1080 or higher
- Place your phone on a stable surface to record or hold your device as steady as possible.
- Make sure your phone is horizontal, and that your face is lit from the front, not the back.
- Look directly at the camera, speak with energy and show your personality!
- Use your creativity to show as you tell.
- Keep your video to two minutes or less

- Are you running a business (profitable or social enterprise) that is combating climate change?
- Is your business either a women-owned enterprise or promoting gender equality?
