Green Stories Short Video Competition 2022
Deadline: Tue 31 May 2022
The Green Stories project in partnership with BAFTA have launched a new competition to create a short video (up to 5 minutes) that raises awareness of the role of fictional role models in promoting sustainable lifestyles, and call out those writers, producers and characters that implicitly promote excessive consumption as an aspiration.

We ask for a short video of between 30 seconds and 5 minutes in MP4 format (aim for file size >1GB). We encourage you to stay below 5 minutes, but will allow you to go up 6 minutes if you really need to.

You can take a number of approaches:

You can do a fun, provocative video designed to get a conversation going. For example, you could place popular characters on a continuum of those who walk lightly on the earth and those that don’t.

Or you could do more of a ’how to’ piece with advice. For example, ‘writers, do you really need your lead character to drive a gas guzzling car? If you want to indicate wealth and status, are there other ways to do this without implicitly promoting a lifestyle that has such a negative impact on the environment?’ Or you could show the consumption of a key character and suggest what environmental impacts result if everyone behaves that way.

Entry Fee: Free
