The Compassion Campaign video contests on YouTube

The Compassion Campaign…Become part of the solution.

What it is:

The Compassion Campaign is the first in a series of video contests on You Tube. It’s a forum for filmmakers and artists dedicated to creating a peaceful planet and to building a sustainable future.

When:

This first contest will launch this fall with submissions being accepted September 15th through November 15th. The focus of the first contest will be global compassion. Contests will follow as quarterly events with themes focusing on creating a peaceful planet, building a sustainable future and cultivating a common unity.

The Vision:

The world today is going through a major transformation. We are facing shifts in the global environment and shifts in the global economy. We face urgent issues regarding our natural resources and a growing need for alternative energy sources. There’s no single solution to the issues we face. There are as many solutions as there are people on the planet.

Caring for the global community and for our planet is everyone’s responsibility. Global change begins with the individual, starting with a sense of compassion and growing into personal participation. We can each begin by tapping our greatest resource of all: the unlimited compassion of the human heart. Art, music and film have the power to cut through the lines of politics, economics, religion and rhetoric by moving directly into the heart. We are asking film makers, artists and activists to express their unique visions of global compassion, hope and possibility for our planet.

The contest:

Filmmakers are provided with a theme song about global compassion to be used as a soundtrack for their video. Each filmmaker is invited to express his or her unique expression of compassion. These are videos based on the question: What is your vision of compassion?

The videos will be posted on You Tube. The contest has an 8 week time span, from the kick off date to the announcement of the winner. The video with the most views by the cut-off date wins a cash prize. The contest provides a platform for visionary artists and a forum of possibilities for positive change. The intention is that, through the sharing of these possibilities, we will collectively create a movement of global compassion.
