"Intergenerational Activism"
From climate change and racial justice to reproductive rights, youth activists have been at the forefront of our social movements for decades. We want to know how you make your voice heard on the issues that matter to you, and what you've learned from experienced activists who came before you.
Create a fiction or non-fiction video, between 2 - 7 minutes in length, that explores activism using an intergenerational perspective.
Some guiding prompts that your video can address include:
- What do you hope tomorrow looks like and how does activism move us toward that future?
- Tell the story of a moment that defines your generation of activists.
- What do we have to learn from activists from younger and/or older generations?
- Tell an intergenerational story about how your elders have impacted you, and/or how you have impacted them.
- How has social media changed activism for your generation?
- How will future generations of activists view us?
The 3 Generations Youth Video Contest is open to emerging filmmakers between the ages of 15 and 24. Older filmmakers are encouraged to submit an intergenerational film with a younger filmmaker. We welcome first-time videographers as well as experienced filmmakers.
We want this contest to reach as many young filmmakers as possible so please share with your communities and on social media. We seek diverse submissions that represent multiple worldviews and cultural backgrounds.
Questions? You'll find a link to a video with the basics of our contest in our Instagram bio or you can reach out to us at videocontest@3generations.org.
