The United Way of the Lower Mainland is encouraging B.C. youth and adults to enter its third annual Care to Change video competition.
The contest asks people to create a short video that address significant social issues facing the Lower Mainland that the United Way works to prevent including child poverty, isolated seniors and bullying amongst schoolage children.
Entries should be no longer than three minutes and can be submitted by individuals or groups in one of two categories: youth (19 and younger) and adult.
The deadline for entries is Dec. 3. Winners will be announced in early 2014.
Last year, United Way received 60 entries, the majority from youth.
Winners of the Care to Change competition will win gift certificates from Best Buy, a CTV News experience for four, and youth winners will have their video screened as part of the 2014 Vancouver International Film Festival.
In addition, the top videos and other select video submissions may be made available on TELUS Optik TV video-ondemand service. For more information, visit caretochange.ca
