Video Campaign
Video Campaigns raise awareness of an issue and inspire positive action.
Tell a quick story through a skit, or short speech to send a clear message to viewers, almost like an advertisement for the environment. You do not have to appear in your video, but could create it with stop motion animation, puppets, or scenery with a voiceover or text.
Criteria
- Tell us about an issue we need to fix to help keep Scotland beautiful.
- Film in portrait for a maximum of one minute. In the style of a TikTok or YouTube Short.
- Your footage can be staged to send a clear message to your audience.
- You can choose any language you like, but please include English subtitles.
- Please list any sources or quotes in a bibliography.
- Your video should be 70% your own footage. Any other footage should be credited.
- Tell us three places you have shared your video.
- Copyrighted music is not permitted in this category.
- AI is welcomed in this category, but bear in mind its impact on the environment.
